M Sport insurance versus SE
Updated my insurance to be for the new X5, delivery this week (well, if the dealer ever informs me what is going on that is ... ).

Body kit makes it much faster !

Quote from other insurers required maybe?

Re: M Sport insurance versus SE
That's taking the p@@@. You're only talking a body kit. It's still a 40d underneath. I wonder if they've confused the X5M with the M Sport - two very different cars!! Could be 'operator error' or database error. Time to look elsewhere anyway. I know I had some silly quotes of about £1,400 for the 40d (BMW being the worst!!). Stayed where I was for £500.

They were £10 less than my current lot - not worth the change (this year).

Re: M Sport insurance versus SE
Total premium is not bad for the year and I have to clarify my statement really ...
Upgrade to E70 SE from E53 was £30 more, whilst it was £60 more to get the M Sport. So the total premium is not double, the difference was double
535dboy - please give me your saga contact details, might give them a try
Your insurance must have gone down now you are married 
(when are you back in the lap of the lawyer so the speak? 
)

Ok so we were all thinking the quote had gone from say £600 to £1200 ! Explain yourself better man !
I'm back in the UK now trying to work - was playing with new supercars this morning though - another thread to follow

Unprofessional conduct........ Not that it makes a difference. It's this forum's MO which is why so many stay.......

Re: M Sport insurance versus SE
I paid my subs.... 
Sp3ctre probably won't get very far on it, but it's something..... 
I didn't get a 5th star, so I probably need to try harder...
Actually that reminds me.....is there an option to have something other than 'Member' under our names? Humorous thoughts like 'Club Spanner'?
