HEADPHONES Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Greenlight insurance are offering 15% discount to Detailingworld members, but won't quote on any BMWs or S2000s. https://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=294045 They reported paying out 9 times more than they collected in premiums for these cars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davectr Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I’m not surprised, BMW’s usually being a young lad’s first foray into rwd hence more accidents. Same with the S2000, I remember years ago when I bought one they had a reputation for ending up in hedges backwards (especially the pre 2005 updated ones). That reputation was well deserved, I spun mine despite being aware of the issue and driving it carefully - I was shocked how susceptible it was to change ends!

Umster Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 BMW is simple. Them (and Audi's) are stolen so quickly and easily these days. Out of the country, stripped down or just random expensive parts stolen and car left in a ditch. I wouldn't think that'd be the only reason but I'd have to borrow a hand to count the number of BMW owners I know who've had their car stolen. Also Greenlight are very picky with postcodes too. Guess they aren't interested in high risk policies (different business models for the various insurers and underwriters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Lol suprise, BMW .... My area has a high BMW and Audi theft rate. Im glad no ones interested in Japanese here. Good business model. "dont quote rule" just means they go elsewhere or to a mates insurance company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
