OK - We haven't had a poll for a while, so here's one. As I've got an E30 M3 that's all I'm interested in - so all you E36/etc owners butt out and start your own poll! I'll start it off - Proud to be over 45 BUT under 54! p.s. - if you want to mention also where you live and how much insurance you pay - that'll be intersting as well - wouldn't it? ------------- Cats know your every thought.

7 yrs ownership this May, current mileage 129K km, Age 40, 12yrs NCD, West London and my renewal for 5000miles only is £445 - I think that is too much! - Will be reducing mileage to 3000 for the coming year! ------------- Phil |

Well, thank you to the ...umm...... 12 people who have polled so far. Obviously some of you are a little shy and didn't want to reveal where you were or insurance info - that's fine - thanks to those that have.
I've had my M3 for coming upto 3 years now. When I bought it was a bit of a shed, so carried on using the E30 325iSE for a while. Had to sell her M3 is my daily car - 18000 miles last year - clock reads 220k(ish) now (engine only 110k - haha!) Live in Cheltenham, car parked on the road, insured via HIC - £6000 agreed value, protected no-claims, Unlimited mileage - all for £750

Hi all, I'm living in County Meath in Ireland, I have had a few Mk1 GTi Golfs before my E30 M3, as I could not get insured in my M3 until I turned 30years of age. I have a diamond black US M3 which is fully loaded,heated leather,cruise control,A/C, sunroof, airbag........... It only has 80k miles on the clock with a FBMWSH. My insurance is 2,000, which is roughly £3000 a year, they were looking for 4500(£7000) a year but I drive a fleet car with this insurance company for the last 4.5years so they gave me my own personal insurance policy for 2000(£3000) ------------- 1990 E30 M3 (US MODEL) 2008 BMW 520D M SPORT |

Hi All, Am I allowed to vote as a 'soon to be' E30 M3 owner? When I can find a sorted car that is... or should I leave now? For the record, I'm just about to turn 30 ...apart from £3000 a year for a 30 year old?! Sounds like I've gotton off lightly!! ------------- Reformed Lotus Addict Seeks BMW Buzz |

I should hope your policy isn't on limited miles, or it might work out to be £50 per mile! Well, I have now casted my vote - swaying things towards the younger end of the spectrum possibly? Does this show that the M3 is a respected classic by any motoring nut that's grown up reading car mags? ...or is it that they've now reached a point where they're within the financial reach of younger drivers (without much competition in the price band) as well as providing a rewarding drive? ------------- Reformed Lotus Addict Seeks BMW Buzz |

I'm 27 and have a south london postcode. I bought it about a year ago. My insurance is 295 fully comp, on a classic policy, with agreed value, european breakdown cover and some other bits I forget. Limited to 5000miles a year... but then again they didn't ask for a mileage reading! In all probability I probably won't do more than that anyway. |

| My insurance is around 200 odd quid (AON) for the M3 and an M6 on a laid up policy. I am overseas now and if I come home and put one of the cars on the road they usually charge me about 25 quid a week then I can get MOT, buy road tax, refund road tax, SORN, etc. |

Owned my M3 for just over 2 years but it has spent most of that time in my "workshop" as a bit of a project car. I hope it is nearly finished now. Living in Lancashire with an insurance premium of £290 fully comp. on a cherished car policy with 5,000 miles per year and an agreed value of 8K (I hope). Edit: Just noticed Fusion Julz post. My insurance is through Adrian Flux (best quote). I am a bit older but other than that much the same. What a difference a postcode makes. ------------- E30 M3 Project - Specification TBC |

Lancastrian: Adrian Flux were not the cheapest (Carol Nash were), but they were the only ones who got back to me with a quote in a reasonable length of time (48hrs IIRC)...Carol Nash were nearly £100 less, but I'd already agreed and paid Adrian Flux by the time they bothered to give me a quote! Next time I will begin with more time to sort it out and will aim for £300ish My insurance could be higher also because I refuse to pay or agree silly excess amounts...So my excess is £150... Agreed value is £6K ------------- 1987 E30 M3 1996 E36 328i SE 4dr (Manual) 1992 E34 525iX Touring...SOLD |

I'm 27 and have had my '87 M3 for around 5 years. It has been off the road for over a year now and will shortly be making it re-appearence (have more or less restored it). Live near Wolverhampton. I'm a bit lucky with my insurance as my dad is in the motor trade and has had me and the M tagged on to his motor trade policy. Think the additional premium to cover me is around £50. |

Hi i am 43 and have had my Cecotto for 6 months. This being my second E30 M3, my first was a Diamond Black '86 car with a low chassis number 1370 i think. I paid £330 for a limited to 5000 miles a year insurance policy with Adrian Flux. The Cecotto is kept in a garage. AON who insured my blcak M3 were more expensive this time around so i went with AF.

hi. Just crept into 45+ age group yesterday. have owned e30 m3's since 1989. started with std. 2.3, then 215bhp cabrio, then red sportEvo. currently own m3 trackday prep. car, 127k miles, agreed value £9k, and mint black schnitzered sportEvo,32k miles, agreed value in excess of £??.K . insurance limited to 3000k miles for each (plus e30 325i sport, 63kmiles AValue £6.5k) and works out at circa £400 with ClassicLine. importantly incl.'s cover for trackdays ( something you should check before going on circuit) not at all bad considering csl alone costs £800 for 5000miles. the beauty of OUR cars is that whether used daily, sundays and high days, trackdays, bmwcc events, shows, concours or kept under wrapps they will always be SPECIAL and appreciated by fellow car buffs and lay-folk alike, so keep on enjoying in whichever way floats your boat. ------------- m3/cslregister |

Age 34 years. Based in North Hampshire, Car is garaged in a rented council lock-up about half a mile from my house. I pay £740 a year fully comp for a classic policy (i.e. NCB not used/needed), BUT, thats for a group/fleet policy on the lancia, the m5, the m3 and the MK.1 rocco. I get 12K miles a year to split across the cars as I want. Agreed value on all of them as well. Very happy with this. I was with Aon for several years, but they have started to take the P**s recently. They did haggle in the end, but their overall best quote was still a £100 quid more and was considerably less flexible about the mileage (less miles overall as well at 10k) New insurance outfit is called Classicline I'm on my second Evo2 E30 M3. 6 years in total - 2.5 years with the current beasty.... ------------- BMW E34 M5 (3.8) BMW E30 M3 EvoII Lancia Integrale EvoII "Perlato" Ltd Ed.

I am 36 now and I have had my car for nine years. So I bought it when I was 27... As for insurance at the moment I pay 270.00 which is about GBP 180.00 annually on an agreed value and unlimited mileage, but this will change to a limited mileage policy of 7,500 kms for 93.00 or GBP 62.00 per year.

OK - time for a recap. Thanks to the 94 entrants that played - and to those also eligible who haven't........ why not?
favourate age group appears to be 25 to 34 - obviously too young to drive one when it was new! Next is 35 to 44 - obviously too poor to drive one when it was new followed by 45 to 54 (which includes me - still just!) could possibly have afforded it when new, but it was too ostentatious at the time! followed by a few in the upto 24 and over 55 groups - more sense than money (Think of the insurance!) or re-living their youth (& s*d the insurance) ------------- Cats know your every thought.

OK time for a comment! Next is 35 to 44 - obviously too poor to drive one when it was new ??? How's about " could have bought one but family demanded somthing more practical" followed by 45 to 54 (which includes YOU- still just!) could possibly have afforded it when new, but it was too ostentatious at the time! 
how's about "is dreaming that he could have afforded it when new but didn't have enough cash..." ------------- E61 520d, slow and buzzy but my wallet likes the mpg..... |

Hi Folks - just registered and thought I'd add my vote. Age 42, had my current M3 5 years or thereabouts, and a previous one about 4 years. Insurance £250 FC with the AA. Guess a northern Scottish postcode can work wonders on the risk front. ------------- 88 E30 M3 Lachs silver RHD 76 Kawa Z650 77 Kawa Z1R 82 Ducati 900SS |

| Hi just to add my two cents worth, am 26 3yrs NCD and on my first E30 M3 and I pay not much over £500 F.C with limited miles of 8/9000 not exactly sure. The best quote I have ever had really seeing as I was getting silly ones over a grand! |
