Edgar Lee will be 49 years old this month and was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He is married and has two daughters, two dogs, and a rabbit. Edgar is a Service Programs Marketing Specialist at Siemens Energy. He has been a Sunshine Bimmers member since 2018.  

When asked which was his first BMW, Edgar gave us a nice story: “Trick answer, in a manner of speaking–the BMW that gave me the bug is actually one I never got to drive (I wasn’t old enough…), and that was a 1972 Fjordblau E3 Bavaria (3.0 L with dual Weber carbs that I can still hear in my mind) that my parents bought in 1976, and sold as a “ran when parked” car in 1985. Then truly got bit by a 1987 E30 325i that I spent a good portion of the summer of 1989 driving, followed 8 years later by a test drive of a 1988 E28 M5 that a close friend was restoring to her original beauty and ran like a bat out of hell even though it had a bad 3rd gear synchronizer.” 

Edgar currently owns a 2001 E46 330Ci Convertible and a 2009 E70 X5 3.0. Some of his hobbies other than wrenching on his cars include camping with the family and cooking which he enjoys. His personal motto: “Never memorize something you can look up.”- Albert Einstein

Her personal motto is “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body.

Woohoo what a ride!”
