What do you pay for insurance on your BMW?

I saw that a guy at the 'fest pays $5000 a year for his M3 cabrio. That is so ridiculous I don't know if I should laugh at him or feel bad for him. But I guess it must be worth it to him.

So what do you pay and for what model BMW? Is it "worth" it to you, or do you pay it under protest?

Me - 2003 330i - About $1300 a year. Pretty happy considering it is a new, expensive car and it is very sporty.

about $1300/yr

Multi-vehicle discount and only the bare minimum insurance + uninsured driver coverage for the 325. $200 and change every 6 months.

A guy in a local club pays $5000 per year for his Miata.

About $1600 a year, and well worth it.

1200/year

BMW 330Ci: about $700 / 6 month
MINI Cooper S: about $500 / 6 month
Umbrella up to $1M, about $130 / year (cars were 250/500/100, the minimum for umbrella)

'99 m3 - $985/year

That's about exactly half what I was paying before I switched companies. The old price went up from the '01 330i by about $500/year (old company prices).

Yeah, it's worth it. The Volvo is $863/year. Even with a five speed, it's still fwd. Which one would you rather drive?

About $4,000 for all three cars.
