8 BALL 0 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hi All!Im new to this forum and have joined as the result of a dilemma, insurance on my 8 is extortionate now and im on the verge of selling as I can not afford to insure.I have heard there is an insurance company that recognises the 8 series as a classic car (which means a cheap premium) - does anyone have any idea of the name of this company?

Lynden 1 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I have had my 8 Series for over a year now and so have had to insure twice. The first time was for about £325 with 7 years and a single SP30, who hasn't? And a car write off to the tune of £23k when I parked the Mrs M5 in a tree.Though I though this low cost was a fluke it came with little restrictions.Declared mileage of under 6k per yearNCD not protected, just 10 days late before they changed their policy on NC's and Claasic Car Insurance.Parked in a garageOnly used for personal use.Value agreed at £10kInsurance company was, and still is, Performance Direct.2nd year as above but the SP30 is no longer present, over 5 years ago.Renewal was at £224(8 years NCD)Not bad for this car I think.Just over 30 years of age so not "old", in my opinion.

8 BALL 0 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 quite a late update - apologies totally forgot.got comprehensive cover for £607.00, which is a lot higher than everyone else but extremely competitive for my area, age and type of car. better then £1800.00 which was the cheapest I was getting elsewhere.with classic line - they recognise the 8 series as a classic car.cant build ncb with it though and limited to 5k miles annually.
