Orlando Pirates’ Bongani Sam And His Luxurious BMW M240i! The dynamic left sided winger and full back drives the powerful BMW M240i. The 23-year-old has been an Orlando Pirates player for a year now.
Bongani Sam joins fellow Orlando Pirates the likes of Zakhele Lepasa and Tshegofatso Mabasa as the many BMW drivers in the squad. Just like Mabasa, Bongani Sam drives a powerful M-sport.
According to CarMag South Africa, Sam’s BMW M-sport costs a heavy R843 000. This is with the R9 000 South African emissions tax included.
According to the BMW South Africa website, the monthly instalment of this vehicle at this price is R14 870.69. This is with varying factors such as no deposit, over a 72-month period at prime +1 interest and a 0% balloon value.
Bongani Sam has only been an Orlando Pirates player for just over 12 months now. It is pretty safe to assume that a monthly fee for the vehicle was the more feasible option for him rather than a staggering +R800 000 one-time fee.
According to many people, PSL players make a minimum of R40 000. And these are youth and academy graduates.
Players that transfer from other clubs are seen as more valuable and earn in excess of R80 000. This suggests that Bongani Sam can comfortably afford the monthly fee for his car.
Especially because of the signing on fee he received, in addition to his monthly salary. It is very likely that the 23-year-old paid a good deposit on the car.
It’s also likely that his balloon is in the area of R30 000. With a good deposit added, his monthly repayments are probably R10 000 or less.
This is pretty good business for a 23-year-old making +R80 000. Orlando Pirates’ Bongani Sam And His Luxurious BMW M240i!
