BMW insurance cost by model
The BMW X1, a compact SUV, is the cheapest BMW vehicle to insure — a full-coverage policy costs $192 per month, on average. On the other hand, the 7 Series sedan is the most expensive BMW to insure, at $350 per month.
Your insurance rates are based on a number of factors beyond the make and model of your car, including your driving history, your age, where you live and the coverage limits you choose. You should always compare quotes from multiple insurance companies to find the best policy for you.
