A 8,000km Speedhunting Quest To SouthernBM

A 8,000km Speedhunting Quest To SouthernBM

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email

After 12 hours within the air, Melbourne, Australia beckoned. Despite the jet lag, my excitement propelled me forward. With the taste of a rapidly devoured burger still lingering, I set my sights on SouthernBM. No time to waste – the Speedhunting begins now.

This journey all began with a Bimmer buddy of mine, who bombarded my social media feed with images of SouthernBM’s Andrew Brien showing off a jaw-dropping green E92 BMW M3 racer and a vintage BMW 3.0 CSL. After enduring what felt like countless shares and messages, my curiosity was thoroughly piqued. I knew I needed to make a pilgrimage from my home in Shanghai, China to the Southern Hemisphere’s ultimate independent BMW sanctuary.

The joy kicked in as I turned onto Sullivan Street in Moorabbin. It’d as well be dubbed ‘BMW Boulevard’ given the array of Bayerische Motoren Werke models parked roadside, lots of the M variety.

Stepping through the gates of SouthernBM, I used to be warmly greeted by Eric Wang, who ushered me into the Southern Classic Garage for a tour.

Connected to the most important workshop, this area housed a formidable array of M cars, Alpinas, and classic BMW models. These cars, some belonging the corporate heads, and others brought in by clients for maintenance, rebuilds and refurbishments, showcased the wealthy history and fervour for craftsmanship inside SouthernBM’s partitions.

My eyes immediately fixed on the M3 racer and the enduring 3.0 CSL.

There was little time for prolonged admiration, though. My feet led me towards the M5 with its hood popped open. Identical to the adjoining E92 in matte Frozen Grey, each cars boast an SBM-developed supercharger kit.

Because of impeccable lighting and a pristine environment, the seemingly haphazard arrangement of cars inside SouthernBM was nothing in need of ingenious. Vehicles were strategically positioned on different levels, making a fascinating visual spectacle. Shooting this dynamic space filled me with exhilaration.

It truthfully made me feel like I’d been transported right into a time-bending fusion of the Nineteen Seventies and 2020s. The space exuded a charm that even surpassed that of the BMW Museum for me, evoking a way of nostalgia and wonder.

As I stepped into the workshop, I saw Eric’s M2 Competition. This automobile, his every day track machine, even has its own dedicated Instagram account, a testament to his passion and dedication.

It can have been an actual journey to get here, but visiting SouthernBM filled me with a renewed appreciation for the artistry and dedication that goes into every BMW creation. I left, eagerly anticipating my next Speedhunting adventure.
