Alright guys, ive just sold mw 330 to release some cash to buy a house and need a cheaper set of wheels for a while. Ive made up my mind to stick with a BMW and Im toying with going for a E30 M3 as it could also be a bit of an investment.....Im a little put off that they are all left hookers though. How much effort and expense would it be to convert one to RHD?
Ive also considered an E36 M3 EVO, Whats your opinions??

If the thought of conversion of a LHD to RHD is creeping into your mind, I wouldn't bother - best chose another car!

Best bet would be to get a RHD E36 M3 or if you really want an E30 perhaps a mint 325i sport?

Most people will find it very difficult to live with a left hooker as the roads etc are not at all accomodating for them in this country.

Hope this helps

Financially, it'd make sense to get the E36 as price have come down a lot! Shame the insurance cost didn't follow suit... :mad:

if you ignore the looks then the E30 M3 is a better car than the E36 M3!
E30 M3 is more of a drivers car than the E36 M3!!!

I'd go for a LHD E36 M3....I had one for 5 yrs, no probs. Just avoid carparks where they have barriers :D

The E36 M3 does seem the more practical choice of the two but you cant help to adore the looks and old skool style of the E30....Why couldnt they have made right hand drive versions :( I know there are a few examples that have already been converted knocking around which i might try and hold out for.
If i were to go for an E36, what should i look out for because ive heard that if its been neglected it can almost bankrupt you to run it?
