    Auxillis experience?

    BMW put a claim through with Auxillis during covid instead of us going through insurance. All went well and had a M240i as a courtesy car, the only petrol car they could offer in place of my wifes 220i. The car was repaired and then two years later we started getting letters from solicitors...

    Looking online when the blue is very old it can turn light brown/Pinkish.

    Depends on the year. Around 2017/2018 BMW moved from Blue G40 to green HT12 coolant, look at what colour is in there now.

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    Just tried mine on Tesco, came back at around £2600 for me. I guess the theft last year is driving mine up along with the increased risk with SUVs currently.

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    Both were on my insurance last year, still around a 40% rise this year.

    Ah, the way I was reading all the news articles was they were hitting existing vehicles. So if i understand now its only going up by £10 for cars already registered?

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    Just reinsured my X5 M50i. It was £1350 last year which I thought was taking the mickey. Gone up 40% this year and the cheapest I can get is £2100. 50yrs old, 3 points from 2020 and one claim from when my last car was repaired after being stolen and recovered last year.

    Cars over 255mg emissions are going to pay £140 more than last year.

    No the first year is something like £2700 now.

    They have just put a further £140 on top of that due to emissions from April this year. Mines just into the highest emission band.

    I think all performance cars will go a similar way. My X5M50i insurance has gone up 41% this year and with car tax is now around £730, there will be a lot of people who just cant afford or want to run them anymore.

    Get positive reviews on the G05 forums. There's been a few issues with the hybrid drive and batteries, this should be ironed out soon.

    Yeah the whole box is replaced only takes a little while. They kept fobbing me off that the server was playing up but it wasn't. As the 3G network is being turned off it would only connect and upload data sporadically when it had service. This means the app was hardly ever up to dated and as you...

    Sounds like the issues I had when the 3G sim version. The 4G one I have now is bang on all the time. Don't let them fob you off it's not fit for purpose and they can't track your car if you can see it, they tried all that with me.

    No I bought the car at six months old so it was already fitted. If I had the choice I wouldn't want the fob one though as it takes the ability away from using the phone on its own. I wouldn't even have the tracker if I had a choice but it's needed to reduce the insurance cost. My last car was...

    I have the one without the fob fitted to my car. Dropped my insurance by £700 and was fitted by the dealer from new. I was the first registered tracker user and it never worked properly. Would sometimes be a day or so behind reporting my location or would stop mid journey only to update and...
