F10 M5 Insurance
Discussion
Ordered an M5 last week and am now searching for insurance, is a tracker mandatory on these cars? My previous cars have been M3's and 911's, I didn't have to have trackers fitted to those but the M5 seems to be different from an insurance perspective.
Any help/experiences/advice is greatly accepted.

No tracker needed with Tesco either, who were by far the cheapest for me.Any help/experiences/advice is greatly accepted.

No tracker needed for me. I'm with Aviva at the moment. I came from a 335d xdrive and my policy cost was the same albeit with double the excess.
Interesting I have a 335d xdrive and pick my M5 up on the 1st March I'm also with Aviva, I hope they do the same for me. Although I did have to have a tracker on my 911 but never on the 3 x M3 I've had. I hope I don't as they are pain, cost money and well I don't want the car back if it gets stolen by some low life.

Quick internet check on each of their respective websites suggests in order (cheapest first)
Privilege
Aviva
Churchill (10% more than Privilege)
Tesco (50% more than Privilege)
LV
Allianz
Will weigh up quality of cover next to ensure comparable
Thanks everyone!

Saying that the renewal was more than that, but following a check on the old price comp sites & a call back to Tesco, they matched the online quote & my renewal then dropped to the £336. TBH it's the least i've paid for insurance on the most expensive car i've ever owned (go figure).
Just renewed with Quote me happy.
Due to a spate of car thefts in the local area my renewal has shot up by and extra couple of hundred. However, i have just done a confused.com search and Admiral is popping up at £767 (with a black box fitted.. f**k that), or £990 without.
Might consider changing today based on the £990.
No tracker.

Looks like Privillige are the best for me, once I set the car value to £74,999 all quotes plummeted and no longer insisted on a tracker. Went from £1k+ with tracker on confused.com to £380 no tracker. I put the full list price in originally (£78k) and as I type this, I should probably put the actual price paid into the online quoting tools.
Given the car has connected drive, you can track it yourself via an iPhone. So a tracker device surely becomes redundant?

The connected drive BMW Remote app will only allow you to track the location of the car if its ignition is off and it's within 1 mile of your location at that time, for "privacy reasons". Stupid but that's how it works. Admiral called me today to let me know that my policy was up for renewal soon and that the great renewal was £1800! I only paid £1300 last year.
A quick check on confused (using 'close' but not exact details) found me that admiral were still the cheapest for me but at £1284. Why can't they just be honest?
I'll try the others mentioned in this thread.....Admiral reeeallly pissed me off late last year so would pay a little extra even to go elsewhere just so I don't hve to give them cash.
