SMG Yamaha Scooter run

Last Friday, an intrepid group of scooter enthusiasts left Umhlanga for the inaugural SMG Yamaha Scooter Run. Local participants joined the team from SMG Yamaha for a casual cruise to local seafood restaurant, Tightline in Umdloti.

Even the slight chance of rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of the old and new crew who arrived with a diverse mix of retro and racing scooters. Hosted by SMG Yamaha’s own Marc Torlage and General Manager, Steve Bailey, the enthusiastic pack of bikers took in the scenic coastal scenes en route to the restaurant.

“For SMG Yamaha, it’s very important for us to show the local biking community that we are here to support them, no matter what brands or types of bikes they ride,” said Steve Bailey. “Although our focus is on Yamaha products, our service facility, which is headed up by the local legend, Shawn Du Preez, is able to service and maintain any bike on the road, said Steve.”

After a sumptuous seafood lunch at Tightline, the group made their way casually back to the dealership for a memorable end to the inaugural SMG Yamaha Scooter Run.

Red Bull Box Cart Race round 2 – 6th November 2022

Earlier this month, an enthusiastic team of motoring, engineering and driving enthusiasts from SMG MINI Tygervalley & SMG BMW Century City competed in the 2022 Red Bull Box Cart Race in the Bo-Kaap at the foot of Signal Hill.

Both teams entered the event with solidly built box cars and gave tremendous support to their brave drivers. The SMG MINI Tygervalley foreman, stock car enthusiast (and racing driver) built a cart we think would pass through the local roadworthy testing station and SMG BMW Century City building a robust well designed light box cart well suited for the 600m run.

Under the watchful gaze of the 22 000 cheering spectators, our teams raced the 600m track with vigour, competing against 57 other enthusiastic challengers. The intricate track was designed by Dakar Legend Giniel De Villiers, and needless to say it was challenging course, featuring tight turns and even a cobblestoned obstacle course. After an exciting day for both SMG teams. The fastest time for the day was 47 seconds, with SMG MINI Tygervalley and SMG BMW Century both putting in a strong runs, completing the course in 58 seconds and 60 seconds respectively.  

Now in its 22nd year, the Cape Town leg was the 120th box cart race to take place, and only the second in South Africa. While competitors are racing for time, points are also give for showmanship, creativity and artistic flair- something the SMG teams had in abundance. 

Both dealership teams and staff did SMG proud. Even though there were no podium places on the day, the teams showed genuine passion and commitment and a healthy dose of humour.

The new BMW 7-series. The ultimate premium driving experience.

For years, the BMW 7-series was considered the ultimate vehicle for anyone wanting supreme luxury and space in the most dynamic driving package. The 2023 7-series builds on this heritage to create the most luxurious and advanced ultra-grand sedan ever made.

With an overall length of 5.39m (131mm more than the outgoing model), space and comfort is more than generous and the exterior details, like Swarovski crystal headlights, a kidney grille with illuminated surrounds, dynamic lighting with graphical projections and 19-inch alloy wheels or larger mean that road presence is taken to another level.




As you’d expect, the interior is a showcase of luxury with exclusivity heightened by fine wood or carbon trim finishes and a selection of four interior colours and front armrest heaters. Technology comes to the fore with a panoramic glass roof, Bowers & Wilkins surround sound with speakers integrated into the headrests, a 12.3-inch driver’s display, a 14.9-inch infotainment unit, parking assist, steering and lane control assist, active navigation, automatic speed limit assist, route monitoring, traffic light recognition, lane change assist, and a manoeuvre assistant.

And for the ultimate in-car entertainment experience, buyers can opt for the 31.3 inch 8K theatre screen that folds down from the roof at the rear.




In-line with the electric strategy of BMW, the new 7-series will add a fully electric version to the range- the i7. Powered by a 101.7kWh battery delivering a staggering 745Nm between each wheel, the i7 will be able to sprint to 100km/h in 4.9 seconds and continue to a top speed of 240km/h.

Expected pricing for the new 7 Series is as follows:

• BMW 740i –               R2,160,000
• BMW 740d xDrive – R2,280,000
• BMW i7 xDrive60 –   R2,825,000

Customers will also have the option of adding the M Sport Package, for an additional R75,000 or the M Sport Package Pro for an extra R115,000.
