Bimmerfest 2014

Around March this year I attended the Bimmer Fest in the heart of Johannesburg's custom car culture ,Lenasia south.The locals put their best bavarian wheels forward for the various segments of the Sunday afternoon event.Some freestyle football skills ,a sound-off competition,Show and Shine and some wet drift sessions . E46  and E92 M3s were out in full force and a trip down memory lane with a few pristine oldies completed the family orientated fellowship among octane-heads. With that ,here's a highlight reel from the Bimmerfest 2014 hosted by Driven SA.

Pra Kulture Classics set out to elevate the pace when it comes to the SUV customizing market in ZA ,with their 555 horsepower X6 M sitting on 24 inch Giovanna peggs and a carbon fiber front spoiler and rear diffuser and custom exhaust.

It's not every weekend that you sport a E30 station wagon ,especially one that came in left hand drive

Inject that petrol spirit in them while they're young.

Custom paint ,exhaust custom roof spoiler ,custom side skirts custom wheels ,custom interior custom hood custom everything.

Lady in red

Go home VW you're drunk.

While commonly ,you'd expect secondary rubber smoking at the site of an E30 but some owners prefer to keep their oldies just like their homes ,clean.

Rims and wraps ,the hard life of an M3.
