Clarence Kornegay
Clarence was born and raised in LA (Lower Alabama) and moved to Charleston in the mid-90s.
His love for BMWs started as a kid with his parents, helping his father replace parts on their family 325i. He eventually took ownership, learning a lot about maintenance as it had well over 300k miles on it.
His lovely wife, Allie, accompanies him to club meets and events and has no problem assisting/supervising me when he’s working in the garage. There’s nothing like spending quality time swapping an N63 engine into an F10 550i. They’ve owned 11 BMWs, ranging from a 1986 E30 325i to a 2017 G30 540i.
