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.

Extreme GTI


If by now you’re already tired of minimally notable improvements on the GTI’s aesthetics and power plant, then VW’s Design Vision GTI will bring you that long awaited sigh of relief. Gorging out an insane 370 Kw at 6500 RPM, 560 Nm of torque complements of a couple of turbos and shooting to the 100 kph mark in 3.9 seconds.


Exterior wise, it’s a reminder of the mark 7, but it seems a samurai warrior was entrusted to slice up aerodynamic openings accompanied by carbon fiber composites, a first for any golf , to keep her grounded when the 3 litre V6 engine begins to croon in augmented notes through the exhaust pipes.

As for the cockpit, if you've seen Audi’s RS range or better yet the R8 V10, then the excessive use of suede with hints of rot and again, carbon fiber shouldn't be much of a surprise, take it as big brother taking style hints from the little brother.

Keep an open mind before you commence on putting your budget on a diet to make space for an installment that is equal to a mortgage payment in order to be one of the first to trade up. The final design and production from the Wolfsburg auto giant has yet to be finalized that’s or confirmed for that matter. Considering that it’s a 215 kilowatt spring from the standard 162 Mark VII engine, don’t expect anything past 300 kw in reality. We’ll have to wait and observe if this is just a flagship model for new performance tech earth’s largest auto group is promising for future models or just another appetizer.
