Interested in your reply re Shannon's. I wanted to insure with them for the choice of repairer, and also for having the chance to buy the car in the event of a write-off but they wouldn't insure my 1991 900i because I couldn't prove to their satisfaction that I was an "enthusiast". So I went with GIO. Still can't believe it!!
