Few pictures of my first BMW E90

Skylinescott · 10-27-2011, 04:10 PM

Hi all,

Quick introduction, my names Scott im 19 from Hampshire. Just thought i would share a few pictures of my first BMW E90 i have just brought as ive been browsing on this forum for a while now and have never properly introduced myself. I also like looking at everyone elses pictures of their pride and joy so thought i would get in on the act.

Anyway here it is, my E90 325D.

Great looking car there. Dang, at 19?
R-I-C-H!
When I was 19 I was saving up for a Civic! LOL

I had a 1.2 Renault Clio! A Civic would have been a luxury!

Skylinescott · 10-27-2011, 04:35 PM

Cheers lads

this is my second car, i had a Peugeot 106 Quiksilver before haha :L

Yea my insurance company does love me haha, i pay the same price insurance for my E90 as i did for the Peugeot which was only a 1.4 lol.

Nice motor mate.

Agreed haha! To be fair though im not paying much insurance at all for my age group on a 3 litre, fully comp and all the extras; 1600 quid.

Baby Dave · 10-27-2011, 06:15 PM

Very nice

£1600

What extras????

I paid £868 for a multi-car policy which includes the other halfs 'Shed', my Impreza STi with all mods declared, my Renault 19 16v which I restored and my 335i.

I'm 29 so got the big discount you get at 25 and I'm due another discount next year when I hit 30. Saying that I do have 6 years NCB but £1600 seems a bit steep for an oil burning family car regardless of how old you are.

Insurance companies are robbing Bastards

Kerr · 10-27-2011, 06:47 PM

Very nice.

At 19 getting insured is a task itself. £1600 is a lot but I know 19 year olds paying that for £1000 cars.

MEGA · 10-28-2011, 02:25 AM

1600 is NOTHING for a 3 litre BMW.

I paid 1900 for a 320d at 22.

It's because you live in a very safe postcode (All of Hampshire is A or B rated).

Alot of the people on here are too old to realise how bad insurance has gotten

The missus (21, but license less than a year) just enquired about ensurance on a 1.4 VW polo and got a best quote of just under 2000.

My first year driving when I was 18 I paid 2200 for a 1.1 peugeot 206 THIRD PARTY COVERED ONLY.

I'm now 25 and paid just under 900 for insurance for the E90 before I sold it.. With 4 years no claims. And I spent an entire day shopping around and playing brokers against eachother for that price.

So you've got a very good price to be fair!

Oh, and welcome to the site! Got any plans for her? You could find some of the old pics of mine as a starting point

Lovely motor buddy,

That is also a cracking deal on insurance. In hampshire 16 years ago for a 995 cc £1200 for a first car.

An now my 320d just dropped to £474 sweet.

creepy coupe · 10-28-2011, 03:08 AM

Looks a very nice straight car.sits in the family stable nicely.

westsidee90 · 10-28-2011, 04:15 AM

nice example there what mods (if any) have you got planned. Wish I had a car like that when i was 19 :-)

dopper99 · 10-28-2011, 04:25 AM

I dont think £1600 is too bad in this day and age for a car like that at 19.

When I was 21 I paid £1200 fully comp on a Astra GTE 16V - but that was TWENTY years ago lol. So given inflation and all - I dont think that is too bad for a 19 year old.

What's the other LCI on the drive?

That's a 320i.

atariboy · 10-28-2011, 05:40 AM

Lovely car, Scot and at the tender age of 19, a very classy choice. Far better than the pimped up Civics and Saxos.
At £1600 for insurance, I think its a snip. Some teenagers are paying up to 3 grand for a wreck.

moar · 10-28-2011, 05:44 AM

Paid £650 on our fleet policy for a 330i M sport..

Fully comp etc etc at a nice age of 20.

My E46 330d was cheaper at £600 if I remember correctly and that was at 18.

ChubbsBmth · 10-28-2011, 06:05 AM

I have just had to change my insurer from Swift cover, because upon purchasing my 335i, they wouldnt cover my dad who is 61 as a named driver (who was covered with them when I owned my e46 325i) to LV who would cover him and I have had to pay £950 and I am 26 and have 5 years NCB as I didnt start driving till 21 (Epic Fail I admit).......

So I think at 19, £1600 isnt a bad price at all. I expect the Coupe would of been more mind.

The OP's story is similar though with regards changing from a small car to a big BMW and not paying much more in insurance as when I started driving I owned a 1.4 focus for 9 months, got made redundant and bought my old e46 325i with the money and the premium actually went down, just because I had a years experience without claiming.

Lovely choice of motor by the way.......and you went for the best colour ;-)

Car insurance is cheaper for those with a history of not claiming on their car insurance. Who would have thought it

Mr Singh · 10-28-2011, 07:14 AM

Nice car, especially at 19. Whats the car next to it?
