For the record, my renewal quote with Flux was disappointing, but they did match the lowest quote I found, despite it being £600 less than them!

Greenlight won't insure E36 full stop, even if it's a 316i

E30 and E46 is fine. Give them a try, great service and generally very competitive on the cars they do insure

the only thing i can see being a real pain is the leather is extended to half the dash board as well and i dont want to buy the car and have to take the dash out as nothing will work by the time ive finished with it

That's THE best interior colour!

Probably wouldn't take as much keeping clean as you'd imagine

Hi MK,

If you havent arranged cover already, we can certainly improve on that by probably £400-£500+, but this would depend upon your profile/driving experience/area etc and we will need to take more information to run comparisons for you.

I have PM'd you in this regard, but in case you miss the PM - To apply simply visit www.greenlightinsurance.com when you get 5 mins spare.

To clarify E46 & E30 model BMW's are fine, but our main underwriters had a really bad time with us for several consecutive years upon E36 model BMW's - thus the E36 restriction.

Kind regards

Tony

nice 1 tony

beat my best quote which was from direct line by a sum of £300 inc tax/interest on monthly payments etc

happy customer here


also like the £50 per day track insurance payable as you attend each track day etc, very good idea.
