Z4M Insurance

[rage999]

Guys,

I am 30 yrs old with 4 yrs no claims leaving in Central London. the lowest insurance quote i have received so far is £1100 with £500 excess.

what kind of premium are everyone else paying at the moment?

[Soovy]

Take it, that's very cheap.

[Raify]

You won't want to know my premium if that's the cheapest you can find.

Tried the Chris Knott insurance scheme on the Z4 forum?

[flimper]

I'm renewing at the moment, the two best quotes I've had are MoreThan and Aviva

[hamzamian]

agree thats very cheap... i'm paying around 800/year (33, london) but thats with 1000 voluntary excess and 13years no claims....

Looks to be about right to me. Last year mine was about £900 (30 y.o., 9 yrs ncb, garaged, central London, business use) with Adrian Flux.

I've just insured the R32 for the year with Chris Knott, who were cheapest by about £200, so definitely worth trying them.

It pays to shop around with these I had a number of varying quotes with a spread of £1500 between the best and the worst. I went with an Aviva policy that gives me trackday cover and class one business cover as well and it cost me just over £800. Car is garaged and this made a huge difference (£250). 41 year old with 9 points, 75% no claims .

The best standard quote I had was from Adrian Flux which was £715.

Mine is £650 all in for my m5, 41, 4 years ncb, not garaged.

Seems the z4m is very expensive!

I paid £750, 30 (29 when took policy out), 7-8 years no claims and 9 points. Try using a sports broker such as Richard Egger they actually quoted me cheaper on a Supercharged Honda Elise than a standard Elise S so def pays to shop around.

let us know how you get on.

Guys you should definitely be able to bring the quote down. I'm 30, 1 year NCB, no points or claims and on £660 plus £250 xs, running CSLs on a lowered Z4MR. I guess career and co-drivers may be a factor but those prices sound too high. I had no NCB last year and I got fully comp for 850 and 350 xs. I'm in Richmond these days so it will be cheaper than central London but even so...

A very good place to start reducing the premium is by taking a day with Ride Drive who have an arrangement with Adrian Flux that gets you 25% off the renewal quote. Chuck in your pistonheads discount and you've got 35% off. Very useful driving advice and the chance to put the car on track - FUN + saves you money!

I don't think Chris Knott cover the Z4M, they didn't when I was looking around late last year.

I went with Admiral in the end ... I'm 28 (27 when the policy was taken out), 4 years NCB and pay around £900, protecting the NCB added on over £100 however. I'm not based in Central London mind so that obviously doesn't help.

Looked around for a while last month..

Bell were the cheapest by far. I'm 35 live in London, park on the road, have 9 points in the last 5 years and 1 major accident in the last 3 years. £870 with 250 excess and including extended hire car and legal.

[milu]

I've been looking today.
More Than, far and away the cheapest at £ 475.
I'm 40 7 ncb.

One drawback with Aviva is you have to pay an extra excess of £200 if you don't use their recommended repairers

Still not bad if the mandatory excess is not very high.
