My BMW e91 is totally screwed after the timing chain went last week and needs a new engine. Gutted!
I'm getting it fixed and then a couple of body work bits done then going to sell it.

I need a car for work so I'm tempted to go and buy the next car now, but just wondered how to go about the insurance.
Do I just take a 12 month policy with no no claims, as it's being used on the BM. Or is there a better way, obviously in the next couple of months once the bms gone Id prefer to transfer that insurance over
What's best?

Bought a new car before selling my current one.
Insurance company just transferred current policy to the new car (£25 admin charge), then charged me £25 to insure my old car for 31 days.

All seemed fairly reasonable to me. Give your insurance company a call and see what they can do.

^^^ Yup, that's the way it works.
