Visited BMW’s Rosslyn plant after a R4.2-billion upgrade to build the X3 plugin hybrid exclusively for global export. Drove the diesel, PHEV & petrol at the launch. Look out for my piece in Brainstorm. Fun fact: the Rosslyn plant in Pretoria was the first BMW production facility outside of Germany.

Earlier this week: a visit to Groningen, a fortress and kitties from Durban living their best life in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

I’ve been using Digital Key Plus for the first time on my long term test Mini Cooper #EV via Apple Watch and iPhone. Haven’t touched the physical key in those 2 weeks. It’s that same freeing feeling when I ditched my wallet years ago.

Just noticed this setting on WhatsApp, to block unknown account messages if they spam. I’ve already silenced known callers, may as well.

Full charge on my long-term Mini Cooper SE test #EV. Switched to efficient mode and got an additional 7km after a full charge. Used Mall of Africa’s 200kW charger but the car’s max DC charging speed is 95kW, so takes longer than other larger EVs I’ve tested.

Never mind that I still have my original ring watch from the year 2000 and recently bought the Fossil Watch Ring, but I now must have this Casio smart ring 😍. Anyone going to Japan next month?
