Electric mobility comes to the BMW X3

Posted on by Admin

The launch of the BMW iX3 brings electric mobility to the heart of the X series with the ever-familiar shape of the X3, now powered by a 210kW electric motor.Fans of the locally-built X3 will feel at home with subtle exterior changes like the closed grille, aerodynamic wheels and discrete iX3 badging. Inside, the cabin gets unique styling touches like a blue start/stop button and blue detailing on the gear selector. It seems BMW has intentionally retained familiarity as opposed to dramatic styling changes that denote all-electrification, either way, the iX3 will appeal to existing X3 owners who are trying to make the move to emission-free driving pleasure.

Powering the iX3 is an electric motor that pushes 210kW and 400Nm through the back wheels, for a claimed 0-100km/h sprint time of 6.8 seconds with power consumption of around 18.9 – 21.6 kWh/100 km, giving the vehicle a range of 440-505 km, it is perfectly suitable to the urban commute as well as longer drives. A fast charge feature also gives the iX3 the ability to gain a 100km range charge in around 10 minutes.
Pricing for the BMW iX3 M Sport starts at R1 290 000.

SMG Toyota Cresta

Since its acquisition by SMG towards the end of 2021, SMG Toyota Cresta has seen across-the-board changes in the operation of this important franchise. Bringing the SMG philosophy into the dealership was the first step in creating a customer-centric space for all departments.

Ineos Grenadier 2B Tour

The INEOS Grenadier
2B tour

The INEOS Grenadier tackled its toughest test yet on the South Africa leg of the 2B Prototype Tour, which kicked off in January 2022 in Cape Town, then moved to the sugar cane fields of Ballito on the Kwazulu Natal North Coast a week later.

The 2B Tour was a rare opportunity for SMG Grenadier customers to be involved in the testing stage of a vehicle’s development, with customer interactions and comments given directly to the technical team. This was after a test drive on the challenging track through terrain not really intended for normal driving.

Developed as a no-nonsense 4×4, the INEOS Grenadier showed customers what is possible when you start with a vision to create the most capable, “built on purpose” vehicle in the world, where every stitch and every surface is built to get the job done.

With the 2B Tour moving to the next leg and gradually heading across the globe, there are still a lot more miles to cover, and testing to do, and judging by the feedback from customers, Grenadier is certainly on the right track.

Matthew “Bushy” McKelvey Breaks World Record

Posted on by Admin

A Record-breaking achievement

Recently, SMG BMW Motorrad Umhlanga was privileged to be involved in the World Record breaking moment of inspiration from BMW Motorrad rider, Matthew “Bushy” McKelvey, at the Phakisa oval in Welkom. Bushy broke the world record for the longest distance covered on a motorbike in 24 hours- 3477kms, a record he reclaimed after holding it in 2014.

Riding a BMW S1000 XR, Bushy, a bilateral amputee from Pietermaritzburg, added over 67km to the previous world record of American Carl Reese, who held the record for almost 5 years. McKelvey, who turns 60 in February, set his latest record the hard way, fighting centrifugal forces at an average speed of over 170 km/h around the short 2,5km Phakisa oval. In comparison, the previous record was set on a 13,7km oval with a gentle 1.7km radius which allows for considerably more speed.

This amazing achievement also had a greater purpose. McKelvey used the record attempt to raise funds for the Grand Lodge of SA’s one million meals for children initiative.

SMG BMW Motorrad Umhlanga is proud to have partnered with Bushy on this extraordinary achievement. It truly is an ‘SMG Inspired’ moment.

SMG Cares 2021

Posted on by Admin

As the year draws to an end, we look back on 2021 with gratitude and pride. While we were faced with another year full of challenges, we cannot help but reflect on what we have overcome, and appreciate the courage and tenacity of our staff at SMG and the communities that surround us.

If there is one thing this year has taught us, it is that there is power in unity. Together we have fought, and continue to fight, against the spread and devastation of COVID-19, we rallied together as strangers in true South African Spirit and together we can make a difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate. This was the inspiration behind our “Season of Hope” Christmas campaign, driven by SMG Cares.

This year, we were on a mission to reach further. Our KwaZulu-Natal dealerships partnered with The Robin Hood Foundation and donated an incredible 5 vehicle loads of essential items that will be distributed amongst the very deserving communities and organizations across various areas that they assist.

“Passionate about bettering the lives and futures of those in need, the Robin Hood Foundation is committed to mobilising resources from businesses and individuals and putting them directly into the hands of the poor grannies, needy mums and children in our surrounding impoverished and AIDS-affected communities.”


Our amazing dealers in the Western Cape donated toiletries and care packages to NOAH (Neighbourhood Old Age Homes), which gives comfort, safety and dignity to social pensioners in the Woodstock area.

“After a lifetime of working, many of these old people are stripped of their dignity and become victims of loneliness, destitution, abuse, illness and depression. Our vision at the Neighbourhood Old Age Homes (NOAH) is healthy & thriving communities led by our elders.”

SMG Cares would like to thank all our staff and corporate partners for their tremendous efforts to make the Season of Hope Campaign successful. And most importantly, to you, our loyal customers – without your support we would not be fortunate enough to be able to give back and bring change to all the lives that these organisations touch. We rise, by lifting others.
