What’s happening in Bloemfontein?
Recently we got a little bit of the lock down cabin fever and decided to sneak out of Gauteng
and go call on dealers in Bloemfontien and see how we could help put there businesses back
on the map and quite frankly we were really surprised to find a thriving motorcycle industry in the
“Platteland”. Firstly, it must be said that the central Free State is a really beautiful part of our country
and really worth a visit or at least a day or two stopover on your mad rush to the Cape for your
holidays, you will be pleasantly surprised. We often do a one night stop over in the little hamlet of
Gariep heading down to and coming back from the Cape and it is possibly the part of the trip that
we look forward to the most and have always promised to make the Central free State an actual
holiday destination, rather than just something to be endured on our trip to the Cape.
Pop in at 8 CP Hoogenhout street,
Langenhoven Park, Bloemfontein for a lekker
visit and a chat with the guys or for your new
Beemer. You can also give them a call on 051
400 0000. They are quite happy to do you a
deal over the phone and deliver countrywide
… for a small fee obviously. You could even
e-mail them detailed photo’s of your trade in
for a preliminary assessment at sovereign@
bmwdealer.co.za or just surf the net to www.
Bmw-sovereign.co.za
Also check out their advert in our magazines
to see their great selection of high quality preowned
machines for sale.

Our first stop was at BMW Motorrad
Bloemfontein, still branded Sovereign
Motorrad for now and in the process of falling
in line with BMW’s new corporate identity.
Headed up by the very capable Stephen Muller
and his team of Deon, Hano and Janice they
have absolutely every new model available
from the Bavarian brand on their showroom
floor along with all the BMW kit, accessories
and a state of the art workshop. And, for all
you travelers that need a bit of assistance
or just want to pop in for a lekker cup of hot
coffee on your journey, they are about 1 km
just off the N1 at Nelson Mandela road.
The dealership is relatively newly built with all
the modern amenities one has come to expect
from the BMW brand and well stocked with
most everything you could need. The team
is is passionate, very friendly and incredibly
knowledgeable and they make a mean
cappuccino.
