First Ireland seem a bit ad hoc tbh in their policy. She said if it was a Porsche they'd consider it when 15 years old, but not a "relatively common m3" (cheeky mare)

Hi Nige,
I have 2 inputs
1) my understanding was that First Ireland would quote you on BMW if >15 years. Did you make sure it was for a classic policy / talk to someone knowledgeable ? I would check it again.

2) Autoline/Newry will quote some marques (eg Porsche, not sure about BMW) down to >10 years old. I am looking into this option now myself so that is concrete.
Good luck with the quest... MM.
Autoline are generally 20 years for BMW but will look at each car e.g. my E36 was 19 years. They did quote me for an '01 E46 M3 too.
Autoline sorted me on my 2002 m3 this year...

Policy now is you must have a 20 year old plus car before they will insure a 15 year old. As John said NCT is a must. Plus you must have a regular policy in your own name. They won't accept company cars any more as I found out earlier in the year, hence I moved to Autoline.
Ah remember the days when you could insure all sorts of crazy foreign reg plates with no questions, no nct. Not that I would have any direct experience with this of course [emoji1]
