Default Insured as a family sedan not a sports car???

My friends insurance agent told my friend that he should have bought a IS-F instead because he regrets buying a E90 M3 because it insured as a sports car and as a result he pays pretty big sum for full coverage...

Strange. I know that the IS-F was about the same for me on Insurance through State Farm as a new M3 Sedan. The F has some high insurance rates (compared to other cars).

I'm insured through State Farm and my insurance is a lot cheaper now compared to my 335. Strange but enjoyable.

I believe the M3 coupe and maybe convertible are considered to be the sports variant for insurance purposes, but that is the case with most coupe/convertibles. In fact, it was one of the primary reasons why I chose the F. I'm not a fan of coupes anyway, and I knew I would get sports car performance masked in sedan insurance coverage. On a similar note, my friend has a Porsche Panamera S, and it is considered as sedan insurance and not a sports car. And that thing is crazy fast!

Well, I get 30 MPG when I do 65 on the freeway and get like 15 at most in city, and I'm pretty sure u can get as low as 5~9 at the track, so I luv the dual personality of the car. I always see a good amount of prius's on the road, and I can't help, but jump off the line and that's probably why I get 15 in city, but 16/23 is real conservatively right imho.

I'm not sure if it matters. On my insurance the F is listed as 4DSD (4 Door Sedan)... so even if I got the M3 sedan I assume it would be listed like that. I'm glad I got the F since my rates are reasonable, as opposed to a coupe in the same league (M3, CTS-V, etc).

I know my insurance sky rocketed when I bought the F... and I think its because it is listed as a sports car. When I bought my M35 (family sedan), my insurance didn't even go up at all.
