I've been bumped to the 1st spot at my dealer & now have the option of getting the M2 in June rather than having to wait until next year - however I really want to get an idea for insurance before committing 100% this year.

There are some M2's already on UK roads but their registrations show M4's & 1M's in insurance databases. Has anyone managed to find a company that can give quotes for a M2?

Don't know about insurance but if you don't want the car for June, can I have your allocation?!
I'm number 3 at my dealer and won't be getting one until next year.

Lucky boy,similar happened to me and my delivery is around the same time as yourself
I'm not even looking until the official launch of April 16th as I don't think the Insurance companies data bases will be updated till then.I can't see it being astronomical though as it's less than £50K, I'd estimate somewhere along the lines of Carrera 2S,E92 M3 money which for me personally is around the £400 ish mark.

Good news Jason.

I wouldn't worry about the insurance just yet. I was very very pleasantly surprised with my M4 insurance, £200 less than my current 335d! Crazy all circumstances the same.

I was No.2 and was expecting 2017 delivery! Sorry I'm not forfeiting my allocation

Maybe I shouldn't worry - however I'm still in my 20s so insurance costs a little more for me than you guys it seems

20,000mpa business and personal use.
40 10yrs protected no claims
M4 was......£310!!!

I nearly drive to call centre to hug the agent!!! Take my MONNNNEEEYYYYY NOWW

Oddly same stats and my 335D which is cheaper, slower and safer with X drive is over £500. Go figure

Hoping the new models confuses the actuaries who sit behind an abacus all day long.

Well my current 120D Coupé is £900 haha

£310 for the M4 is insane! Insurance boggles my mind with all their statistics - how can a M4 be less than a 335D! Probably something to do with more people have crashed 335D's than M4's.

Yep,

M235 quote and a bit of loose change should sort it

It's because diesels are expected to be driven a lot further and do high yearly mileage, thus increasing the chance of being involved in an accident.

I'd get a quote for an M4 and 235i and pray the M2 will somewhere in between! I currently pay less than £300 for an 8 year old modified 135i. I dread to think how much the M2 will be!
