samg Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 alot for a 18 year old in a BMW in london! i was quoted ?2500 for my 1.2 clio in a small village! and im 18 also. Edit: if you can get it under a parents name with you as a named driver it should be better, i done that last year and from ?2500 to ?900. but you dont get the no claims discount. Oh, you say no one will give you a resable quote, well thats because your probley the highest risk out there. the quotes your getting are genuine im sure:) :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271329-bmw-316i-insurance/#findComment-585292341 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 seriously why do you want a 316? they are the most popular car on the road. for a bmw its hardly exclusive, plus you'll look like a 'bmw driver' and we know what people think of them. anyways, for a reasonable quote contact CIS (co-operative insurance) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271329-bmw-316i-insurance/#findComment-585292344 Share on other sites More sharing options...

samg Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 well i hate to say it but your quote will be high no matter what car it is. also, hate to say, something like a vectra will lower it a little. stay away from "prestige brands" merc, bmw, audi.

nitronix Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 1 one answer. a hell of a lot more than the car. In uk, dont even look at anything above a small car, fiesta, 206, cleo etc till your 21.

.... Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Please please please don't buy minimums. Have your agent explain to you what exactly those liability limits cover. You could be mortgaging your future if you do not have adequate coverage on your vehicle.

Max Veteran Posted January 14, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 14, 2005 Getting a big vehicle, especially at your age, is just compensating for something. :p Why don't you get a smaller car?

Dashel Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 A 316/318 is not a big car by any means...unless you compare it to your average ricer. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271329-bmw-316i-insurance/#findComment-585295164 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad, except she had to put her excess upto ?1000, and she's got 5 years no claims or something. So that helped lower it. Only problem now is I dont gain any no claim:(:( Dean Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271329-bmw-316i-insurance/#findComment-585295188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriz Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 You wont get insured on it. And if you are lucky enough to find a company that will insure you, it will be sky high.

I wrote my clio off, excess was ?250. not to bad i thought, untill i was told as im under 21 i have to pay a "preium" for ?250 ontop. But lucky i had GAP protection on my car so all the money i would of lost if i sold it i got back, so i managed to get rid of a car and loose pretty much no money over it!
