Modified 335d insurance

quattrogmbh · 05-01-2008, 09:33 AM

What are you guys who've had the 335d modded paying for insurance?

How does it compare to the non-modded 335d costs.

Tempted :-)

as long as the mod is typically less than a 25% increase then most insurers seem happy, expect at a guess somewhere upto a 20% increase.

Quattro, mine went up by 15%, but before you consider it check your insurance company will provide cover for a modification.

+1. Mine went up about 17% with BMW insurance and they were familiar with the mod as soon as I mentioned it. The excess went up as well, another £150.

they actually will probably have nothiing to do with each other, like so many of these big companies, bmw will just of sold the rights to call it that to another insurer, im no expert so im sure someone will tell me different

Mine went up 10% from £700 to £770

Any of you with Directline?

I'm with privelege, they consider all my "options" as modifications, wrote to me re: renewal price of 700odd quid, did a confused.com quote that came out at 575 quid and they matched it when I called them. New car for old in first year and they cover the options where lots of insurers don't.
