Hi everyone!

I’m in the process of swapping my BMW M140i for a 22 plate Fire Orange Alpine. Who do people use for competitive insurance?

I tried to change my existing policy with Aviva but they have an A110 listed as an Alpina instead of Alpine so the quote is completely wrong! Anyone insured with Aviva should check their docs as you can’t correctly select a modern Alpine on their quote system.

Thanks and brace yourselves for more questions!

Thanks

Jez

Ok thanks I’ll have check there.

Definitely not listed under Renault as I checked that. The A110 listed as a model only under the Alpina manufacturer selection.
I spoke to an underwriter who admitted their system is wrong.

Cheers everyone.

I wouldn’t have considered NFU but despite having to do the quote over the phone (they don’t have a web option), their quote was very reasonable and they don’t charge any interest when paying monthly.

I'm with NFU. No complaints

All good to go for collection on Saturday now. It’s a 22 plate fire orange base model, with comfort pack, active sports exhaust, heated seats, wing badges and mirror pack. I was blown away how well it drove on the test drive so I’m pretty excited!

Great stuff, Tim is a brilliant chap to collect the car off. I live about a mile from the dealer so I'm always walking past. Was this the demonstrator ? If so I drove this on my test drive back in September and bought one on the same day. I'd convinced myself I was getting a blue one until I saw the orange in the sun. It was a fabulous car but at the time just outside my price range.
Yes it was their demonstrator. The orange does look great and it was the exact spec I would pick.

Couldn’t agree more on the Fire Orange. I was even accepting of the fact that mine would be one of the majority out there in Alpine Blue - but side by side (at Winchester) the Orange just said “pick me, pick me!”

@Jez O does yours have standard 17” wheels? If so I’d appreciate seeing a pic or two!
Hi. No it has the 18” black serac wheels.
