got a very strong urge that i have to get one of these for my next car, im 27 with 7 years ncb, so how much you think il have to pay? And what do you guys pay? I got a 1st qoute of £1400,

 

I'd expect you'll pay around £800-£900.

I paid £1300 for an E36 M3 EVO Cab....25 with 3yrs NCB at the time.

 

Give Tesco Online a try...........Daft as it seems, this is where I got the best quote for the M5. Even cheaper than going with some of the BMW M Power affiliated insurance companies. Be interesting to see what they quote you......GIVE IT A GO. And let us know what they quote. If it's anything like me, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

 

TOP TOP choice of car mate.

As above Tesco is very good at mo

 

I paid 900 with adrian flux 7 years no claims when i ws 27 for mine

 

£840 FC at the age of 27

 

1400 seems far too expensive, theyre more insurable than the E36 and i'm paying <1k and a lot younger than you

 

Good decision on the car Marc. Lovely things!

Sell the Fiesta parts before they get old or you break or wear them out as well by the way!

 

I'd expect £500.
I'm same age, same no claims on the E36 M3 and pay £500, and many go onto the E46 and pay less.
E36 is much bigger risk, loads of twats are writing them off - Greenlight won't insure them for one.

 

advert for the shell is going up 2nite mate although im shitting myself as there is no turning back after that, and ive put so many years into the little xr2

but it has achieved all the goals i wanted it to and more so its more than proved its point and that it had the balls to do the times that it boasted it could

so i spose it goes out a bit of a legendary little car in my eyes

 

im with adrian flux for mine, was £690 Fc im 35 with full ncd and 3 penalty points.all mods declared aswell. also the tracker monitor is £120 a year as i see that as i kind of insurance aswell.

 

i pay £455 fully comp, 29 years old, 8 years no claims, all mods declared, fitted with tracker..

E-sure.

 

cars are in a different league, alot dearer to insure a e46 as the value is far greater, 20k compared to 4k/8k.also your postcode as a lot to do with it.

 

Well once the fiesta is broken up i will do a proper days hunting around for the best deals with suggested insurers by you guys

thanks
marc

 

Just going off what lots of owners of the both have said, many too thought premiums would go up, but went down.
Will see how it works for me in a bit.

 

Hmm, would you go for a E46 M3 or an E39 M5?

 

ask us in a few days

 

dont make me change my mind anymore lol

e46 m3 is what im after if all goes well

 

I spent all of last saturday thrashing my mates M3 (E46) cab around, I thought it was a fantastic car to be fair, and handled very well, especially as it is missing the roof , never been in a E39 M5 (hint hint M5 owners ) , so would be interested to see the difference ...

the ONLY thing I didn't 100% like about the M3 was that it just felt like it needed another 60-80 Bhp , but I have been spoilt by cossie power

 

i agree it wont even be as fast as my xr2 but its a differant class of car altogther

 

If you find yourself in the Pompey area your welcome to a spin in the M5
