SMG continue the award winning way

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]SMG again takes top honours at the recent BMW annual awards held in Johannesburg on the 26th February 2018. SMG was awarded by BMW South Africa as the MINI Dealer of the Year.

To be recognised as the Dealer of the Year, BMW South Africa focuses on a number of key performance indicators. These measure the overall performance of the dealership and the customer centricity of the dealership in relation to the entire dealer network in South Africa.

Being awarded Dealer of the Year means, measured on the standards set by BMW South Africa, SMG delivered the best overall dealer experience throughout South Africa. These results were received through ensuring that customers experienced nothing less than perfect in a dealership environment that always puts customers first and delivers on the promise of service excellence.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”4534″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”4512″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Patrick McCarthy, Dealer Principal of SMG MINI Rocks, said “receiving the Dealer of the Year award on behalf of the team at SMG Rocks is an amazing honour. The team have worked relentlessly over the course of the past 4 years, winning MINI Dealer of the Year consecutively in 2015 and 2016, MINI International Dealer of the Year in 2017 and following that up again with MINI Dealer of the year this year. I would like to thank the team for their time and sacrifice to continuously push SMG Rocks to new heights. I would also like to thank our customers for their loyal support and assure you that we will continue to provide you with the SMG 5 star experience.”

Speaking on the accolades achieved by SMG, Sean McCarthy, Managing Director and Founder of SMG said “It has always been our goal to provide our customers with the most incredible experience. Whether purchasing a vehicle or aftersales requirements, our ethos has always been to have a customer centric approach. To have been recognised consistently by BMW South Africa over the years pays testament to the pride of the world class team that we have at SMG and their dedication towards our customers. We have seen a number of changes at SMG over the past few months in a strategic move to grow the SMG footprint within the greater Durban and North Coast regions. This year will be an exciting evolution of the SMG brand and we look forward to delivering the SMG experience through our new dealerships.”

SMG’s presence in KZN, as well as the Western Cape, is as strong as ever and you are invited to visit your nearest SMG BMW and MINI dealership for a coffee, a quote, test drive and most importantly to find your dream vehicle.

End of an era as the last 3 Series leaves Plant Rosslyn

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After a production run of 35 years and 1 191 604 units over five generations, local manufacturing of the BMW 3-series officially ended at the German automaker’s Rosslyn Plant near Pretoria on February 21st, as attention now moves to assembling the X3 within the coming months.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Bw38V5OW1E”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Rosslyn, BMW’s first ever assembly plant outside Germany, has produced an impressive 1 191 604 BMW 3 Series sedans over five generations, starting with the second-generation version in 1983, known locally as the ‘Gusheshe’ or ‘Bhotsotso’.

A total of 98 003 were made at Rosslyn between 1983 and 1992, including two engine derivatives – the 333i and 325iS – made  exclusively for the local market.

The third-generation 3 Series sedan – known at the plant as the ‘Dolphin’ – took over at Rosslyn in 1992; significantly bigger than its predecessor, it was available from launch as a four-door for the first time.

84 876 were made at Rosslyn before it gave way to the fourth-generation ‘G-String’ model in 1997, so named because of the shape of its steering wheel. Production lasted until 2004, with no fewer than 269 810 rolling off the line.

The fifth generation 3 series – affectionately known as the ‘Tweezer’ by South Africans – was made at Rosslyn from 2004 to 2011; production over its seven-year run totalled 356 257.

The current, sixth generation of the 3 Series sedan  came out in 2012; it was the first with an eight-speed transmission, the first to offer a head-up display and 382 658 of them were made up to yesterday, out of a total of more than two million worldwide – almost one in four 3 Series sedans built worldwide came from Rosslyn.

In November 2015 BMW Group South Africa said it would be investing R6 billion at Rosslyn to install the new production line for the X3 and in October 2017 it threw in an extra R160 million to increase peak capacity from 71 000 cars a year to a record-setting 76 000.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”4493″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”4491″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
