Do I need GAP Insurance?

In June I am taking delivery of a new BMW X4, which will cost around £43,000. My existing BMW is insured with a company that's recommended by the dealer. My question is: do I also need to take out GAP Insurance? This will be a cash transaction.

Good idea on such an expensive car. Talk to www.ala.co.uk and compare their quotation with the dealer's.
