This was because my insurance company would pay the full invoice price in the first year. Then the GAP insurance (see link below) covered the the return to invoice (or higher value of a new car with all options) for the following 4 years. This gives 5 years total coverage.

I sold the F31 320d after 2 years and bought my 11 month old (63 plate) X3 xDrive30d M Sport(fully loaded ex BMW Management car) for £36K. I rang GAP Insurance and they transferred the policy across to to this X3. So the X3 is now covered up to the cost of the original invoice for the 320d of £35K for a further 3 years.
This the best way to cover all your options at a sensible price. The enhanced policy needs to be specified. I paid £234 for the 4 years.
Do NOT try to cut the corners on this policy by reducing the costs. You need the best one that is transferable to the next car. |
This is what I am getting at. Its gotta be worth a few hundred quid not to have the worry about your ins cpy trying to rip you off or will only fork out for the standard build no options.
Will check out the GAP insurance link thanks.
