Just bumping an old thread rather than starting a new one. I rang around a few insurance companies today including First Ireland and none of them would quote me on my 2002 E46 M3. Has anyone recently got a classic policy on a 15 year old BMW? I have another car as a daily and it's insured in my name so no problem proving it's a second car.
Not quite the same but just today I added the E36 m3 to our classic policy for €59 until April on limited mileage with First Ireland. It's a 1999 car though.Originally Posted by nige
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)
My brother is having the exact same problem (same car,same year),one company is saying it's the age of the car and others are saying its because it's over 3 litre they can't insure him,let me know how you get on

I rang First Ireland today and they said that I need a 20+ year old car to start a classic policy but that I could then add my 2002 M3 on to it no problem. Might have to go car shopping!
And it'll need a current nct before they'll insure it
I thought all BMW once 15 year old were covered by them?

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

Do you need the existing policy with autoline or just proof of current cover with current supplier? Would they cover a 15 year old car if I hold a vintage and regular policy with another company?

I just told them I had a company car, no proof asked for. Good chance they will quote for the 15 year old car without any other car on policy with them. Sure you could say you will consider moving your other car if they quote you.
