Changing car insurance from full coverage to liability on BMW lease, will BMW detect it?

I just completed a lease assumption process on a BMW and they required full coverage (100/300) for my car insurance. Problem is, I have a few tickets on my record and also for some reason I require an SR22, so for full coverage insurance I am paying quite a lot.



I would like to switch to liability only and just take the chance if something happens to the car (knowing I will have to pay for all damages), but I am not sure if BMW checks periodically whether or not I have the proper insurance coverage.



Does anyone know if they check, and if the do check and find me with only liability, what would/could they do?



Thanks in advance.Changing car insurance from full coverage to liability on BMW lease, will BMW detect it?Yes they check. They call your insurance company periodically and request the information. Sometimes they want it from the insurance company in writing and sometimes verbally. But the answer.... yes they will know so make sure you insure the vehicle to what was agreed upon @ the lease signing.

Yes, they will check. When they find insurance not in force, they will buy it for you and bill you for it. It's very expensive, so it's best to keep the policy active yourself.
since bmw is listed ont htitle they will be notified as soon as you do-- they are listed as owners in a way



sorry
As long as they are listed on the policy as loss payee and additional insured (which I guarantee they are because they require a copy of your policy), your insurance company will not let you go to liability only. If you take them off, your insurance company WILL notify them %26amp; they will contact you to be put back on the insurance. If you do not, they will force place coverage and add the cost to your payments (which is a lot more expensive then what you are paying now %26amp; will not cover you, it only covers them) or repossess the car.

The best thing to do is to find out if you can turn the car in early on the lease (pay the penalties) %26amp; get yourself a car that you can pay cash for so that you can insure for liability only.
BMW financial services would definitely be more concerned with the comprehensive and collision (full coverage) than they would be about the limit of liability. If you have liability only the insurance company will %26quot;force place%26quot; insurance onto your vehicle and add it to your monthly installment and believe me their rates are not pretty. If you have the full coverage on the vehicle but your limit of liability is just lower than the 100/300/50 that is what BMW requires your insurance company may have something called %26quot;additional interest coverage%26quot; which is a complimentary coverage that states that the limit of 100/300/50 applies to your policy for the benefit of BMW financial services only, and the lower limits for yourself- you would be charged the lower rates
The insurance company will notify the leaseholder if you drop the coverage.
