    Hi guys, So I was sitting in my car today... saw this georgeos looking yoke.... BMW 320d, Is it possible that that 17 year old was actually insured on that? If so , how much would that cost? I thought insurance would not give insurance for a car like that to a kid like him..:) and what a car it was :( wish I had one haha

    What kind of parents would let a "just passed test" driver in a car with that much power, rear wheel drive and a load of torque (i believe 350Nm of torque?). Madness....although i do wish i had one:)

    I'd imagine it was mammy's, and if he had 1 or more older siblings, the cost of naming all of them on the insurance is only about €100 more than insuring the most expensive on their own. Hence people I know being insured on a 740 @19

    The 320d is a fine engine and has a good bit of poke but a 150bhp diesel car is hardly a performance car, but for a 17 year old trying to get insurance on one it will be seen that way.
