Try calling Liverpool Victoria. They seem really no nonsense and the times I've called, I've spoken to someone with a decent grasp of English. As an added bonus, they seemed to be the cheapest I could find for unlimited business miles.

Maybe, maybe not. The change from 218PS to 231PS may make some insurers assess the own ratings...
ABI lists 218PS 530d SE as group 17 and actually has no listing for 231PS SE! It lists 530d M SPORT as group 18. So 'officially', the 231PS 530d SE doesn't exist! (Probably why it's being hard to track down for an insurer) The quote will have to be on a 218PS 530d SE (2006) though - no end date has been set... However, the Sport was ended and replaced with M Sport...
Have a look here ABI

Will I be ok with a quote for a 530 d with a lower hp and slightly higher capacity??? Cant make a mistake with this sort of decision
every insurance document I have ever seen just includes model, cc's and year of production .... If you can't get a quote on the net that doesn't say 218 hp, then you will need to phone someone ...
