BMW insurance
BMW's range of vehicles fall into a variety of categories, including executive saloon, 4x4 and high performance sports, and insurers will rate on each vehicle differently. Other factors that will contribute to your insurance quote include the vehicle’s age, engine size, security and safety features and replacement parts cost. All these factors will contribute to a vehicle’s insurance grouping, which can be used as a good indicator of potential insurance price.
- The Association of British insurers allocate vehicles insurance groups based on the above factors, and many more - you can find more information on insurance group allocation here.
- The groups are numbered 1-50, with the lower numbers generally being cheaper to insure, and the higher, generally more expensive.
- To help you get an idea of how your insurance quote is calculated, below you can find a list of BMW models, and their potential insurance groups*. We've also included the road tax catagories that these models can fall into - all will depend on the particular specifications of your vehicle.
