“Being awarded Dealer of the Year is a huge achievement for us,” said Darren Staats, Dealer Principal of SMG South Coast. He is quick, however, to acknowledge the important part his customers play in the dealership’s success. “We have to thank our loyal customers who motivate and inspire the SMG team to constantly perform at the highest level. Without them, accolades like this would not be possible. SMG’s overriding mission is to maintain a winning culture and to ensure we are the first port of call when it comes to purchasing a vehicle”.

As Dealer Principal of SMG Rocks, Patrick McCarthy proudly enthuses, “to have been awarded MINI Dealer of the Year for the prior 2 years consecutively and now the MINI International Dealer of the Year is a very special accomplishment and a humbling experience. SMG Rocks has a unique personality; one that is tech-savvy, tuned in to today’s world, young at heart and we really enjoy celebrating the unbridled joy of owning a MINI. Above all at SMG it is our hope that you arrive as a customer, leave as a friend and return as family.”

The relentless pursuit of perfection is the SMG way. From the unmistakable buildings and spacious showroom floors, to the powerful and luxurious cars, SUV’s and motorcycles, SMG strives to constantly set new standards of excellence, after-sales support and dynamic efficiency with the passion and commitment their premium vehicles command.

On the theme of consistency, in the event of the unforeseeable, SMG Approved Repair Centres located in Briardene and Umhlanga and Tygervalley should be a customers’ first choice when it comes to the repair of any form of paint and panel accident damage, as all centres are Manufacturer Approved by BMW, MINI, Land Rover, Jaguar and Toyota. SMG ARC Durban is ranked 1st for customer satisfaction in the BMW/MINI ARC network with this ethos continued at the other 2 branches.

To experience the pursuit of perfection for yourself, visit your nearest SMG dealership. Whichever one you visit, one thing’s for sure, you’ll be dealing with the absolute best.

Care 4 Water driven by SMG

Posted on by Admin

2
On Thursday, 17 November 2016, The Initiating Dealership SMG South Coast, BMW Group Financial Services associates and American Waves for Water ambassadors delivered 350 water filters valued at R 260 000.00 to two Wards, 8 & 32 in Dumezulu, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa. Dumezulu has been riddled with a water crisis for several years now. An array of challenges including poor infrastructure, corruption and a much needed upgrade to the water purification system, coupled with the current drought, means local community members don’t have access to clean drinking water. Therefore, water is currently being accessed from untreated community rivers and dams.

1

Reliance on water tankers to supplement the water shortage means the residents have, at times, gone several days without a single drop of water in the area. SMG South Coast in collaboration with BMW Financial Services Waves for Water, made it their personal mission to improve the lives of these community members by providing access to clean water through the distribution of 350 portable water filters to churches, schools, Crèches, Mobile clinics and other stakeholders within the area.

Taylor Paul, the Waves for Water ambassador, lead a demonstration with the community stakeholders to show how this innovative water filter solution has the potential to provide 10 000 people access to clean water, thus preventing waterborne diseases such as Cholera, Typhoid and E-Coli. After the demonstration, the SMG South Coast and BMW Financial Services staff gave one-on-one training to the community members to ensure they had a good understanding of how to use and maintain the filters.

Over the past few months BMW Group Financial Services has globally been on a quest to raise $500 000 in order to provide 10 000 water filters that can produce clean, drinkable water to over 1 000 000 people in need. To date, they have globally managed to raise $321 456 which has funded water filter rollouts in Mexico, China, Brazil and Thailand ensuring thousands of people are now able to access clean water for the first time.

5

South Africa was chosen for the 2016 Care4Water rollout.
With the ongoing donations and support from all the markets world-wide, the members of Dumezulu on the South Coast will now be able to safely drink water without the concern of water-borne diseases. Dealer Principal, Darren Staats carry’s the ethos that is prevalent throughout the SMG group and that too give back to the communities that you are in. “We need to do whatever we can, and as often as we can to improve the lives of the less fortunate people around us. I hope that we have achieved today goes a long way to help as many people as it can for as long as it can. It was a very humbling experience for me and my team and I would like to thank our partners that helped make it possible”

The All New BMW 5 Series

Posted on by Admin

untitled-design-2
The new BMW 5 Series is upon us and South Africa can expect to see it in March 2017. There are four engine derivatives coming to South Africa in the initial launch: 520d, 530i, 530d and 540i.
Its mission statement: setting new standards. The BMW 5 Series is the embodiment of the modern business saloon. Thanks to its dynamic and simultaneously elegant appearance, it convincingly meets the expectations that are placed today on a vehicle of its class: aesthetic athleticism and driving pleasure with state-of-the-art technology.
Where dynamics are concerned, the BMW 5 Series shifts the boundaries. Powerful engines impressively transmit its sporty exterior to the road. Yet apart from power, the BMW 5 Series is not only able to offer power but also brains. This is because the progressive technologies of tomorrow which enable it to exploit its dynamics to the full make it a true hero.

Jaguar Land Rover Enlists Gorillaz’ Noodle As New Global Brand Ambassador

Posted on by Admin

This might be one of the weirdest spokesperson partnerships ever.

Fifteen years ago Gorillaz, the “virtual” band created by Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett, released its first album. It sold millions of copies, was nominated for the 2001 Mercury Prize, and confirmed the world was ready for a band entirely made up of cartoon characters. It didn’t hurt that “Clint Eastwood” was dope and the artwork was just as sick.

Now iconic British automaker Jaguar Land Rover has named the band’s (totally fictional) Japanese guitarist Noodle as its new global brand ambassador, to connect with young people as the company plans to promote its role in shaping the future by aiming to help solve technology innovation and skills gap challenges.

Fiona Pargeter, Global PR Communications Director, Jaguar Land Rover says that by 2022 there will be a shortfall of 300,000 skilled engineers in the UK alone and it’s part of the brand’s responsibility to change that by inspiring young people. “As a business we recognize the importance of inspiring the next generation of engineers to help fill the global skills gap, but also raise awareness of the Jaguar brand and the FIA Formula E Championship,” she says.

“To do this we wanted to work with a partner that would enable us to reach and engage a completely new audience. Our aim was to produce exciting and engaging content that would help us convince young people what a brilliant, inspiring, creative and diverse career engineering can be in today’s world.”

And if picking a cartoon member of a band whose first album came out when most of the target audience was in diapers seems an odd choice, the brand points to the data on Gorillaz fans that tells another story. “Gorillaz have a huge global following and 42% of Gorillaz’ YouTube views are from 18-24 year olds, with key interests including science, technology, and video games,” says Pargeter.
