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 ... ).

The insurance company provided a certificate for a 40d SE and when I mentioned that it was wrong (i.e. M Sport), the premium DOUBLED. Was expecting a bit more, but double the premium of an SE ???

Body kit makes it much faster !

doesn't sound right does it?

Quote from other insurers required maybe?

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.

Possible I guess

PVR, surely you are a full paid up member of Saga now so it should be cheap

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

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

I was trying to see if I would qualify for a job at the newspapers, I hear there are some vacancies

Mine went down £30 from the E53 to the X6.....

Anyway, £30 quid extra for tacky plastic aint bad really.......

The only problem with that is that you won't be able to get off the floor again ...

Unprofessional conduct........

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

Or the fact we have no where else to go!

I remember when to old site went down and we were like lost sheep!

Soon to be repeated if I dont pay the domain fees

Another tax dodge!

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'?
