Suggestions for competitive insurance on 535d M Sport?
Discussion
Who is anyone covered with for what they felt was a good price?
I’ve been with elephant for several years as v competitive. Unfortunately I had to make £2k claim last summer as some f****r dented my door and wing in a carpark. Last year paid about £900, renewal for them this year just over £1500, with 10 years “protected” no claims.
Called the site sponsor ^^ up there, bloke wouldn’t even give me a price on the phone “I can’t come close will call you back if I find anything competitive”. Greenlight refused to quote based on my postcode (surprising, never had that before). Aviva over £2k, Admiral (same group as Elephant I know) £1850.
Comp cover on a 535d M Sport, 57 reg est value £18k, unmodified, tracker, myself 36 and wife 32 to drive. All stuff in order, registered to me, my address (East London E3). Unfortunately SP30 in my name Dec 2007 and SP50 Jan 2008 (not a good two months!).
I know it’s a combination of my points and the recent claim, but £1500 is still pretty eye watering. Any suggestions gratefully received!
As an aside, does anyone know why you have to declare points to insurance for 5 years when you can have them removed from your licence after three years?

Attempted LV but their website keeps crahsing on my work laptop (which is rubbish) will look at that tonight.
The last couple of years when I looked at comparison sites they were hillariously bad like £3k plus when I was paying £1k ish - I think if you've got a Focus and live in Milton Keynes or something they are ok but no use for performance/luxury car in central london.
Direct Line, Privelege etc also all been miles out, might try again. Gets tedious typing it all into multiple sites!

50% loading for "no fault" claim seems harsh but at the moment I can't find anyone more competitive.
The claim was paid for by the other party in the end was it?If not then it will be classed as a fault claim if costs weren't recovered which may answer why it's gone up.
Hi, until November last year I used Chris Knott, whom I found via bmw5.co.uk - they always seemed to improve on Admiral etc by a useful amount. Upon renewal this time I tried sky insurance (0870 1121 759) and they beat my renewal by 10% or so.
Fwiw I've had an IN10 and a fault claim in the past 5yrs, and my wife has 3pts, we live in tw7, and I paid £780 fully comp
