M5 Insurance....... potty!
Discussion
Am I missing something? My insurance renewal has just come through and I nearly fell off my chair! I switched from a TVR Cerbera to the 2001 M5 a couple of months ago and my insurance has skyrocketed.
28, full no claims, secure off road parking, no points, unlimited mileage with business and european cover:
Cerbera - £480
E39 M5 - £1017!!!!!
Something tells me all in all the BMW is going to cost a horrific amount to run... dealers quoting left right and centre for work that has blatantly been invented, insurance that beggars belief and so on and so on....
Are there any decent M-sport indies in the Midlands / Cotswolds?

///M cars are always a knock where insurance is concerned.
IIRC when I was 20 and looking at either an E36 M3 Evo or a Cerbera 4.2 the M3 was £2800 to insure, the Cerbera was £1400. My M Coupe insurance is costing me £1300 now, but I could probably get a Chimaera done for around half that.
There must be a high percentage of cars with M badges either getting nicked or written off.

One company that is good on one car, isnt necessarily on another.
My M5 insurance is up and as usual I have had to move as companies are only interested in winning, not keeping.

The best deal has been with Adrian Flux who did my Westfield a few years ago - (underwriten by RSA) £813 (I'm 32 living in Surrey, IAM licence, 7 years NCB, 3 points 2001, two claims - both no fault - but put the premim up - gits. Including cover for my 30 year old girlfriend..

Interesting. Was hoping to get the Alpina insurance down from nearly £900. Not having any luck with online insurers so far...
Have you tried Tescos?..... bizzarly for what is quite a specialist car, when we sold the B3S we had some months ago they came up trumps for the buyer

Have you tried the supermarkets [ Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda ] ?
Good value policies, in my view.
Sainsburys also run NCB beyond the five year usual maxium out
to about a dozen years.
