"There is no doubt about it...the BMW is a classy car. And it has legions of fans - very committed fans."

This is an extract from the Laudium Sun Weekly article about the BMWFanatics Gauteng charity run in favour of Olievenhoutbosch Child Welfare Home.

The fanatics contributed many food, clothing, washing machine, TV set, prams, cots, blankets, heaters, toys and sweets as well as making a generous cash grant of R1,100 to the Home. Most importantly in true fanatic style the kids were also taken for a ride in the BMWs that were on display.

Here are some pix of the event:
