BMW insurance madness,

So I got a car insurance quote from BMW, gave them a list of mods, they won't quote or insure my car because of the BMW PPK fitted!

Typical. It's not really from BMW themselves though, just a deal between them and an insurer I'd guess?

If you've got Mods then I'd recommend A-Plan. The policy I got through them was great and no hassle at all with all my mods and no need to tell them about changing tyres and all that bollocks.

This must be a mistake, they insured mine just fine with PPK.....they won't touch any other mods though (as in non BMW mods)

I thought it a mistake too and I questioned the decision. The chap left me hanging on the line while he spoke to someone, he came back to me and let me know that unfortunately BMW insurance can't insure my car because of the BMW PPK fitted.

I have emailed BMW to suggest in small print that if fitting a PPK then you cant have BMW insurance.

Thanks for the advice on insurance but a happy chap from LV quoted me happy and all is good with them, springs, PPK etc.

Try admiral they were the best on my car with all its mods

Bmw took the wee wee - quoted over 7 k without mods !!!! Compared to £750 with mods elsewhere.

Dump BMW insurance. So far up their own arses it's untrue

Stick with A-plan. They will broker a great deal to meet and the exceed what BMW give as standard and the price drop will help pay for some other tasty mod for your tasty motor. Win win.
