Blitz,
I have a 2000 323i and I pay about $2200 a year, for pleasure driving, with a 25% discount. Add a couple of hundred more for business use.
If you don't know what your discount is, call ICBC and they will tell you. Then call an autoplan broker, tell them your discount and what type of car you plan to buy. They will also will want to know where in the city you live, if the car has an immobilizer/theft deterant (which it does). If you can avoid it, don't pay monthly, they charge around 8% interest, which they don't tell you unless you ask. Cheaper to use a line of credit or even a loan.
Good luck, and enjoy!
