Insurance Group of New Z4

Post by ksher » Wed May 13, 2009 8:58 pm

sDrive23i and 30i are group 17, and 35i is group 18. My 2.5i Sport is group 18, but has not got 35i's performance. :(

Insurers may think new Z4 drivers will be less enthusiastic (SLK-type).
Current BMW: 640d Gran Coupe M Sport (F06), 118d SE (F20).
Previous BMW: Z4 sDrive23i M Sport (E89), 318i Sport (F30), 120d SE (F20), Z4 2.5i Sport Roadster (E85), 523i Sport (E60), 323Ci (E46), 523i SE (E39), 318i (E36).

Would having a canvas roof affect insurance costs?

Insurance groupings don't seem to directly correlate to the actual amount you pay. I can insure a 996 turbo for £50 more than my Z4, S2000 is significantly more than both.
Silver Grey 2007 Z4MR which needs to be driven more :evil: :P :cool: :D :thumbsup:
