Hi All,

My X5 should be making it's way up the mouth of the Yarra today - hooowwweeeee! I think I will be getting my car around the 15th of August. All very exciting, but on a more serious note INSURANCE. Just got a quote from BMW finance and was wondering if anyone has compared costs with any of the other insurance companies.

Looks Like your X5 was on the same boat as mine! My dealer also advised me that delivery will be between early-mid August. Cleaning out the Garage to make way for the new baby as we speak.
In regards to Insurance, up here in Sydney AAMI was the cheapest for me by $130 followed by BMW Insurance, however on paper BMW insurance seems to be a better choice, BMW Ins had a few small details included in their policy that I liked, It seemed well thought out for BMW owners,,,.

I assume you have purchased your X5 because it's the best ..... cover it with the best insurance!

I'll third that...

We found on average BMW insurance was $3-400 cheaper than GIO, SGIO etc so stayed with them. Be careful in the second year though. They keep the premium the same but drop the insured value from agreed/new to market value and it's not clear in the renewal. If you are leasing that may mean you suddenly have a $30k shortfall should anything untoward happen.

We went direct to Allianz in the second year for an agreed value at a further saving in premium. Alternatively, you can keep a protected value or something depending on who your finance is with...

Cheers

Fourth that... it means you are guaranteed the repairer will use genuine parts... also includes a cheap Windscreen excess free one per year and a hire car option .. it was slightly more than NRMA for me but had a $500 excess vs. a $1200 for NRMA....!!!

I stopped past a dealer that I was driving past in early July with my cousin to him what the new X5 looks like and the dealer told us that any orders placed on that day would not arrive till Dec-Jan !

Just found out my car is on the boat due into Perth on 6 August and I will get it 2 weeks after - think it must be the same boat that dropped yours in Melb - Do you know the name of the boat ?
