Admiral definately dont cover optional alloys, when I had my 320D SE with optional alloys (from the factory not the dealer) they threatened to cancel my policy when I mentioned them on a call about something else. Eventually they agreed to carry on cover but specifically excluded the wheels. For this reason I wont go back to them. Bell are the same co. with the same rules. Seems ludicrous to me, but insurance is a business where:
1. you're legally required to buy the product they sell
2. there are no standards.
3. they can make up any rules they like
Can you tell I'm not a fan?

After going around all the normal companies. Admiral/elephant, Privalidge, direct line etc the only one I found who didnt care about any factory fitted options were www.lv.com. They said that as long as It came from BMW like that in the first place it was all covered, the price wasnt disimilar to the others without anything declared either.

Same story with many other insurance companies. The following seem to not care about optional extras:
Performance Direct, Norwich Union, Adrian Flux and Liverpool Victoria. I was getting quotes between ?1200 to ?1400 which was extortionate. I'm 29 years old with 4 years NCB. Managed to get LV just below ?1000 but even that is really really high.
However, at least I know that my optional extras for the car are covered in the event of a claim and also my after market modifications (M Rear spoiler and SAT retro fit).
