Hi Caduceus, let me guess you live in the western suburbs of Brisbane and drive a Sedona red 135?

Choice of repairer is very important, especially when you know the repairer and mine will order all the genuine parts from the manufacturer.

Cozza, having solid white is a bonus, colour is very easy to match; not that I hope you need it (may be for stone chips years down the future)

I'm ringing around today getting quotes, so this has been a useful thread.

38, male, Maroubra, Sydney, no driver under 30, no infringements in last 5 years, 1 minor claim in 5 years, max NCB, rating 1.

AAMI $2758

BMW >$3000 ( can't remember exactly how much as I had fallen off my chair)

Allianz - refused to insure, based on it being parked in a shared carpark during business hours. It didn't matter that it is a private, corporate carpark, behind a boom gate, with security cameras. (!)


My suburb appears to be the issue, as I asked for a requote to a north shore postcode and it came down to just over 2000.


On a side note, the girl I was speaking with at AAMI commented
that it sounded like a hot car...Gotta love that :wub:

Allianz (BMW) are very good. I had someone run into the rear end on my 118i and it was repaired by BMW's Bodyshop in Port Melbourne.

I used to be with AAMI for over 10 years until I had to make a claim. Shoddy repairs with used parts etc.

AAMI insurance is not worth the paper the policy is written on.

I had a similar experience years ago, that's why I insure with NRMA. But for my 135 BMW was $300 cheaper:w00t:

Don't even get me started on how many times I had to take my MR2 Spyder back to have it resprayed after NRMA got their hands on it - this was 2 or 3 years ago though. Was never happy with the final result - had swirl marks all over the door - this is after they tried to get the dirt out of the paint! I just gave up after 3 resprays.

Oh no! Hopefully BMW insurance will be better. I suppose at the end of the day it's the repairer you use.

BMW said I could use anyone I choose for my wallaby damage, so I rang my dealer and asked for a recommendation. Not as much choice in Tassie, but the one they recommended is a BMW specialist. So here's hoping

NRMA didn't give me a choice of repairer back then. Stick with BMW insurance, especially if they say you can choose any repairer you want.:roundel:

Shannons Quoted $813.00 or $733.00 on production of CAMS license. Conditional on off street parking. If your really old Australian Pensioners Insurance Agency (APIA) quoted $662.59 or $55.21 monthly.

Funny that they quoted you that figure..:iono:

Could be cause you are in South Australia I suppose.

I rang them up and they wouldnt even give me a quote..:iono:
Told me that they would not be competitive with the majors for this type of car.
Didnt even ask for my postcode..how strange..

Then he asked me how much GIO Insurance quoted me ($1450) and then replied that he couldnt go nowhere near that figure.

When do you guys think is a reasonable time to be seeking insurance quotes that I can trust/don't need to get requoted?

I'm currently with RACV, but have had BMW Insurance before. It was great until the warranty ended and then the price doubled....

37, rating 1 driver, high risk melbourne suburb and car is listed as used for business (not courier) insured with BMW for around $1,800.00.

Not so bad price all things considered for the 130

A bit of an update-

I spoke to BMW Insurance/ Allianz to get a quote this morning to round things out. They came back with ~$1700, which puts them probably at no.2 on my list in terms of preference but 3rd price-wise.

List looks like this:
  1. Ryno. $1440 and seems to be a good policy with choice of repairer, windscreen cover, 2 years write-off replacement etc.
  2. NRMA is $1450, but I don't like the feel I get of them being more suited to mass market type cover.
  3. BMW Insurance $1700. Has all the right policy features
  4. Shannons (unfortunately). I love talking to the guys at Shannons, they're always very helpful and their policy has the right terms etc. but at $1850 they're the most expensive one here.
So unless the dealer is willing to forego brokerage on the BMW Insurance to subsidise my premium then Ryno will get the business. When I come to actually making an application I'll post up another update to let you know what happens in the end.

Hey mattyv - have you tried AAMI? They're worth a shot based on my past experience. Did you contact Allianz directly or only via BMW Insurance?

If you plan to do ANY mods then NRMA is not for you. They refused insurance for me when I did a few minor mods on my MINI. AAMI were only too happy to take my money and have been good to deal with on the one small claim I have made.

Just quoted $1470 by Shannons. They've been dirt cheap over the years for my modded E30 & motorbike but look like they won't be able to compete on the 135, when it turns up...:iono:
