Its not just the turbo's, the insurance premium for my Mini (soft top mind you) is HALF what it was for my N/A BA XR6. The Mini also cost more and being BMW built has the associated parts costs.

AAMI even said, no, sorry won't insure it at all. Even with a 70% NCB with them for life, and another car also on max NCB.

The XR's don't seem to be well received by the insurance co's.
