I just found out Admiral Group own Confused.com.. 

which insurance companies are you guys with?

My Porsche is less than £600 so the X5 doesn't make sense..

Hi Guys,

I've just got my renewal through, £1265! After getting new quotes online I got it down to £990.. Even then I think the is too much, how much is everyone paying for there X5? Mine is a 2008 X5 35d M Sport.

Cheers

Updated thread with pics of M3 on 1st page.. Just need to detail the X5 & get some proper pics done..

Thanks for the comments guys, will add pics of the M3 too.

Haven't washed the X5 yet might do it this weekend, since hosepipe ban has been lifted here.

Going to get the X5 detailed when summer arrives, will post put some pics once done.

Thanks for the replies.. I used to have a 2005 E53 3.0d Sport so am familiar with the service intervals on those.

Hi, I'm seeing an 75k X5 this weekend and want some info on the servcing. Can anyone tell me which service is most likely to be required at 80k on a E70 35d? I'm guessing it will be an inspection II, anything else that might require changing at this time ie discs & pads etc? Any info is much ...
