Taking the Plunge - 320i

Eoin

Ah, not this crap again. There is a big difference between putting an M badge on the back of an m-sport model and putting an M3 or M5 badge on the back. That would be calling it something it's not. What's the big deal with putting the same logo that's on the steering wheel, alloys & door strips on the boot if you want to? Personally I couldn't be arsed, but I can't understand why people get their knickers in a twist about it.

Cover type Excess Annual premium
Comprehensive - €1,128.00


Smaller figures are the excess, the rows look ok until I submit the reply then they go arseways.
Those prices are for M cars so you will probably find yours will be cheaper.
Price has to be paid in full, direct debit not an option.
Here's what it covers depending on which policy you buy.

So I just rang there to check this out.
€604 for the year or 56 per month, no excess, 477 with 135 excess.

That sounds like pretty good value to me!

By the way the car is amazing Been down around Laragh over the weekend with it and its a lot of fun on the twisty roads. The lack of roll is such a pleasent feeling and the is no sensation of speed unless over 100 Went to overtake someone and the TC went mad of the small patch of frost on the road. Other than that fantastic. Heated seats are the dog's bollix. and despite the heavy foot is only 2mpg less than the old car to this point

Only down side is a few small chips on bonnet from all the grit on the roads down there will have to touch them up at some point.

having a new camera delivered over the next few days so will get snaps

That's very good yep - I'd take the excess one, chances are something may not go wrong this year.

The M car cover is a bit dearer and I had to pay in full but also nice peace of mind.

Glad you're enjoying the car...
