Ontario Insurance - HELP!
Trying to insure my B10.
So far my ins. broker says NONE of the insurance companies they deal with will insure it because its imported Classic insurance wont help as I put on 40,000km a year |

My broker had similar trouble for my B3 and could only get specialty insurance with Hagerty for up to 4000 KM / year and various other restrictions. I'm curious who othes are with.
I'm shopping around now, will let you know if I find anything better. |

co-operators came through!
They insured it without much fuss. 16 other places basically said no. I feel the rate is favorable and rewarded them with all my business. Can't wait to cancel my old policies tomorrow. Not going to insure my car as a daily driver? Then you don't get any of my insurance business! Yee Haw. Flying out tomorrow to get the ol girl. |

Glad to hear it and thanks for the pointer to Co-Operators.
Is the car registered / insured under the Alpina VIN? Sometimes I think it would have been easier if I had registered it using the original BMW VIN... |

Car is not in Ontario yet. I am actually at a layover right now flying up to Edmonton to get it. Will spend the weekend there then drive her 1700km home. (not a bad test drive eh?)
Car was registered in Alberta with the Alpina VIN and is insured with the Alpina VIN BUT as a BMW...... Make: BMW Model: ALPINA Insured as a 535I. (Insurance asked him... WTF is this car? He says basically a custom 535.... OK, we will insure it as that then... ) No VIN on the insurance card. Insured with co-operators in Alberta.... I think that is partially what made it easy. In fact she gave me a quote of over $1000/yr which I was willing to live with, but once I forwarded the insurance and registration from the PO, the rate went down about 30%. My assumption is this has to do with the fact its insured the same as a 535. Lol. So right now I have "temp" insurance to drive it home. I will pick up an in-transit registration permit from Alberta. Then I get it inspected and voila - it "should" be good to go. Previous owner said he had an issue with inspecting the brakes though.... The Alpina rotors are thinner than the 535i? I know the shop doing the inspection quite well so I don't anticipate any issues, but we will see I guess. |
