Yes that's 20 years ago, and £529 is not as bad as some you guys with M40i / M40d’s but I never thought I'd be paying those sort of prices again in my lifetime, unless I bought a proper expensive car from Porsche or Bentley (I wish). 21 days until my renewal is sent to me. Can't wait. J.

Thing is the M40 is actually faster 0-60, but limited to 155mph, whereas the 911 wasn’t. |

Very true. My X3 (even the clunky 30d) feels just a quick (in a straight line) as my old Subaru but it doesn't go round corners anywhere near as well though It was a prefect family car for the times, although my Mrs said it gave her whip lash half the time.
I've been driving since 1987 and watched my premiums go up as I bought more powerful cars (nothing super quick, just bigger engines) and in the Subaru's case modding it to just shy of 300bhp with suspension that was like being on rails, but at that point age/versus experience caused the premiums to drop, and they've been dropping ever since... until now. Just a different time I guess, and I need to get used to higher insurance costs. I just hope that by the time I come to retire (only 11 years to go) it's sorted itself out, as paying stupid insurance money for a decent car will 100% affect what I go for. Now, I have the Macan in sight as my retirement toy but that could change massively. I hope not. J.

Yes, victimize drivers. Don’t buy cars that thieves want! Cause that makes them steal from you! It’s definitely not sensible to go after the thieves!
What’s next? We tell women to not dress provocatively because it invites unsolicited approaches? Donkey backwards! |

I did an insurance quote last night for a brand new BMW M240i and the premium came in at roughly the same as MY22 M40d....WTF is going on!

You’d think they’d ask if I have a dash cam fitted, but they don’t.

I did several quotes with start dates spread of over a 4 day period, with all being more than three weeks away. The quotes varied from £720 to £1294 from the same insurer on different comparison sites, and its own website. The other thing to watch for is the APR if you pay monthly, again different for the same insurer on different sites. It’s hard to fathom what’s going on, but time the market is investigated, or people with join the hundreds of thousands who don’t both insuring, which is probably part of the issue. |
