Welcome to the forums and congratulations on your new car!
I don't know about the insurance, but the mods will kill your wallet for sure !

Welcome to the forum! I would hold off on doing any major mods that will dig into your wallet until you know what your insurance is going to cost annually. Being 18 you should probably take it easy for a while and be smart about spending money.

Hi there! Welcome to the forums! Congratulations on actually owning your e60! The bank owns mine, but I will get it from the bank someday!

The insurance will be higher becuase of your age, but that's about it.

Enjoy your car and enjoy the forums. I have learned alot since becoming a member. The folks here are great.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on your new car!!! As others have mentioned the main factors for you on your insurance will be your age, driving record and your marital status. Young single guy, probably gonna be close to a couple hundred a month. Insurance varies from state to state, it would help if you updated your profile so we know where you are located.

Best bet if you can, have the car listed under your parents insurance if you can, that way you guys get a multicar discount. If not try Progressive or Nationwide, as they have always been pretty reasonable.


GL and dont forget...we luv pics here, so post away...that way you have before and after photos!
