I sympathise.
Last year I paid £350 for an Audi A7 BiTDi, this year I bought a BMW 535d and the premium went up to £500.
Rates have gone up markedly this year due mainly apparently to the 'Ogden Rate', which is the levels of compensation given to accident victims.
I found the best rate on Confused.com with HASTINGS DIRECT who seemed very competitive.
Also you are comparing a C class Merc with a 5 series - different size of cars and insurance risk?
If you have a wife put her on as a named driver, insurance companies seem to like that,
