I want a blue vx turbo lol

Great cars Have you looked into insurance yet? Especially if considering upgraded ones. A lad had that problem when I was selling one of my Elises.

Insurance shouldn't be to much of a problem for a modded vxt

35!? Wow, they'll pay you! Serious mode: VXTs are quite modification friendly insurance wise

[Herbs]

I'm hoping so, the only fly in the ointment is I'm 5 months into a multicar policy with Admiral so fingers crossed they'll be ok.

[Claws]

Admiral tend to be Turbo friendly, they categorically do not insure a supercharged VX though, so you should be fine, especially as the BMW is hardly cheap on insurance

I didn't think admiral liked mods? Least they didn't a couple of years ago with me

[Herbs]

£310 fully comp

[Claws]

That is about £200 cheaper than my NA on an Admiral multicar policy!!

Bizarre isn't it! Btw I must say how refreshing it is to find a friendly forum, certainly beats the general gassing section on Pistonheads

Welcome to .org This site still amazes me with the lengths that members go to to help others out

They don't seem to like substantial engine mods but my vx has all mods declared with them (exige suspension, remap, itg, exhaust, tubby splitters, stripes, splam grill) and I still only pay £250...mind you i'm really old.

Oh and welcome to the site herbs

Hi Herbs, welcome to .org, not heard anything so i'm guessing you've decided against the PX? I wasn't really looking at selling until i got looking at Z4M's and this px was offered. looks like this has fallen through so i will keep the car, spent lots on it now and with a house purchase coming up it'll be much cheaper to run than a Z4! I know my car isn't a complete stage 3, it was one of the older Courtenay stage 3/2.5 when they used Pace CC instead of the Pro Alloy ones. with regard to power figures it produces 253BHP and i must say i've never felt the clutch really struggle...

Strange I have 3 cars on a multi with admiral and pay just light of 200 for the NA 😀 Clean licence fault accident 4 years ago protected ncb but I am getting on a bit 😊 We pay just over 550 for 2.0 alfa 156. / 2.5 mondeo and the NA Sometimes getting old has its benefits just seem to forget what they are 😃
