I expect they made a mistake, but congratulations anyway. :thumbsup:

This year I changed from Z4M to a multicar Z4M + Golf 1.4 TSI policy. Total cost has gone down £50. :roll: :D
2008 Z4MC: heavy wheels | crap suspension | skittish rear end | wobbly engine | not enough induction noise | underwhelming turn in | inconsistent braking | lardy battery | chubby steering wheel

If you're with BMW check your renewal details as mine went up 160 quid. I couldn't work out why until going through my details my excess had gone to zero. Their explanation was they had changed underwriter and the details had defaulted to nought.

From which I think we can deduce that more Corsa's are being bent (17 year olds on the limit?) than Zeds - When I traded my Focus RS my cover for the Zed was £40 more - more Zeds and more people bending them and (even though body parts for the RS were getting difficult to find) more expensive parts to replace.

My zed was so much cheaper to insure than the 318i e46 it replaced, all about how many get wrapped around trees I think
