I'm thinking of getting my car registered as a collector, but if I don't get savings on my insurance fees, I don't see much of a point.
Hi Scooter:

Welcome to the club. Yes, my car is registered as a collector car. The process is quite simple, but the rules are it must be >15 years old AND less than 1500 wordwide production AND you must have another car registered with ICBC for work. You cannot drive a collector car to work or school.

Your B8 should meet this criteria. Its a huge savings, I pay around $600 per year for full coverage.

If you look on ICBCs website, there is a information on how to apply. All you have to do is take some pictures, fill out the application form, write up a letter explaining the low production of your car and submit it to ICBC. The application actually goes to an independent expert for approval (i.e. BMW Club of BC).

Let me know if you have any questions.
