- C300 AMG Sport Line Premium Plus Coupe (C205)
My current car (BMW 335i coupe) has had modifications done to it, including increases - via engine management - of 64bhp/112Nm torque and limited slip diff fitted. These mods were declared to my insurer and are taken into account in my premium. As mentioned elsewhere on the forum my BMW is to be replaced very soon with a Merc E350CDI Sport Coupe - 265bhp/620Nm version.
Despite power being 100bhp down on the BMW my insurer wants the exactly same premium for the unmodded Merc as for the modded BMW... apparently on the basis that the value is much higher (BMW is coming up to 7 years old).
I am very interested in GAD's tuning and their ability, it seems, to get 310bhp/750Nm out of the 350CDI engine. But, no doubt, my insurer would load what is already quite a heavy premium.
Can anyone suggest an insurer who might be suitable for my new E-class coupe, if I decide to get GAD to work their magic on the car?
