Our job takes us all over South Australia, and with three children between us who sometimes come along for the ride, safety is our number one priority!
BMW’s Frontal Collision Warning, Active Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and BMW Assist eCallTM give us peace of mind when travelling long distances.
This summer, pack the car and say hello to SA, like we do. Here are some of our favourite spots we’ve visited this year…
North Beach, Wallaroo
It’s one of the only remaining beaches
in SA where you can drive your car onto the sand, so it helps when your car has
a big booty! The X3 has a 550L luggage capacity, the X4 has 525L, X5 has 650L and X7 offers a whopping 750L — which means you can fit all the towels, snorkels, boogie boards and sun shades in the boot, ready for a day out on this spectacular two-kilometre stretch of coastline.
Maxwells Wines, McLaren Vale
For a picturesque driving experience that’s close to home, you can’t go past the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale
wine regions. Winding your way through Stirling, Meadows and Willunga, you’ll end up at this five-star winery and restaurant on top of the hill in the Vale. And for extra safety on those country roads, these BMWs have a Heads Up display, which means you never have to take your eyes off the road.
Atlantis, Port Elliot
Just an hour from Adelaide, Atlantis is
a few steps from Horseshoe Bay and
all the best Port Elliot shops! It has four bedrooms (sleeping ten people), and offers everything for the best home-away- from-home holiday — summer or winter! With off-road parking and a giant garage, the whole fam is sorted. And just for fun on Port Elliot’s main street, try the BMW Parking Assistant Plus, where the car parks itself for you — it’s a thrill!
Emu Bay, Kangaroo Island
Driving yourself on holiday gives you the freedom to always be in control and there’s no waiting around for tour groups
or taxis. Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third largest island, so a car is essential if you want to see as much as possible. And don’t worry about getting lost, The BMW Live Cockpit Professional with navigation function has always got us from A to B without a worry.
Alkina Luxury Accommodation, Barossa
Who’d have thought Adelaide BMW’s electric iX, iX3 and i4 co uld get you to the Barossa and back in one charge? A great way to care for the environment, you can charge her up at home overnight. Our fully-charged iX40 meant we had 420 kilometres of freedom, so naturally, we beelined for Alkina’s luxury accommodation in the heart of the Barossa Valley and back again — with kilometres to spare.
Pop into Adelaide BMW to find out more about these amazing wheels — and you’ll be on the road to saying hello SA in no time!
