Sorry can't help with current costs but you could contact MACS shipping for current pricing. They have a regular service from Durban, Jeffrey's Bay and Cape Town to Antwerp and the UK.

Back in 2010 I used AMI (Air Menzies International) at Cape Town airport.

More info on this thread here:

If your's is a popular travelling bike (I'm not familiar with BMWs at all) Bradley may be able to give you a quotation. Or be prepared to estimate the weight and a rough size when palletised. This is for air freight. If you're also getting a sea quotation it would be interesting to see how they compare. There seems to be reports that air is cheaper than sea these days.

Some more detail, a few photos and a lot of rambling here:
