On Sunday, Muldersdrift, in Mogale City, played host to the Beemer Festival hosted by Carcandy Inc.
BMW owners and fans had the opportunity to get together and share their passion for the brand.
I know BMW purists will tell me that a 'beemer' refers to a bike and not a 'bimmer', which is the car.
Organisers of the brand, Carcandy Inc., chose a name that the South African car scene is familiar with, Beemer.
There are already hugely successful BMW forums, such as SA Beemer, that have adopted the 'incorrect' name.

The Beemer fest featured a range of new school, old school and classic BMW's.
There was also an opportunity for businesses in the BMW scene to display some of the cars they have worked on.

China's rare earth export curbs hit Europe's car industry
BMW has deployed a magnet-free electric motor for its latest generation of electric cars, but still requires rare earths for smaller motors powering components such as windshield wipers or car window rollers. German carmaker Volkswagen said it is not seeing any shortages now. China's slow pace of easing its critical mineral export controls has become a focus of Trump's criticism of Beijing, which he says has violated the truce reached last month to roll back tariffs and trade restrictions. Trump has sought to redefine the US' trading relationship with its biggest economic rival by imposing steep tariffs on billions of dollars of imported goods in hopes of narrowing a trade deficit and bringing back lost manufacturing. Trump imposed tariffs of 145% against China only to scale them back after a sell-off in stock, bond and currency markets over the sweeping nature of the levies. China has responded with its own tariffs and is leveraging its dominance in key supply chains to persuade Trump to back down. Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to talk this week to try to iron out their differences and the export curbs are expected to be high on the agenda. In a social media post on Wednesday, Trump said Xi is 'VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH', highlighting the fragility of the deal.

Why the Volvo EX90 is the definitive eco-warrior SUV
Safety remains the cornerstone and the Lidar sensor scans the surroundings on the move, picking out cars, lanes and other objects in the EX90's proximity. All that's needed is to keep your hands on the wheel at all times and it will self-throttle, brake and turn into curves proficiently. The system is let down only by municipal ineptness where road markings have faded and deactivates quickly and warns the driver to take the reins. Foibles? Putting all major controls into a single digital hub will not be to everyone's liking, but I'm all for it. The digital key, which the car senses on approach, is too small, though, and easy to lose. Apart from this, the car didn't put a foot wrong for me. The closest rivals to this luxury electric Volvo are the BMW iX 50 and Mercedes-Benz EQS 450. While the BMW looks the part and is priced marginally lower than the Volvo's R2,650,00, it doesn't accommodate seven people. The Mercedes is R82,000 more expensive and can be optioned with seven seats. Having tested all three, it's the Volvo EX90 that's coming home with me for its blend of luxury, style, functionality and Lidar sensors. It's sold as standard with a five-year/100,000km warranty and a three-year/60,000km maintenance plan.
