I know some purists would frown on this, but how much work would be involved in converting an E30 M3 to right hand drive?? I absolutely adore these cars but am really put off by them being all LHD.
Could maybe use donor dash etc from 325??

Did the 320is never come in RHD?
Also, LHD is very very easy to get used to, if thats what your worried about. Just dont go in any barrier operated carparks unless youve got a long pole or wife to stick out the paasenger window:D
Sounds like alot of work and very expensive if your gonna pay someone to do it.?

Im quite mechanically minded and would do alot of the work myself, and would be a long term investment.
The obvious things would be Dash, peddle box, linkages, steering rack and would use cheap donor car for parts.

If you were gonna do it yourself, then i would say go for it. Its all part of the fun.

LHD is really very easy in the UK, i have has 2 cars in LHD and it is not a problem.
Your car will instantly be devalued if you convert it as well.
Trust Lee and Me when we tell you, you will be fine! :)
I drove a LHD E36 M3 for five yrs,no problem at all. Takes a little getting used to, but then you get experience driving on both sides and never forget.
Only problem were car parks with barriers, but then take a passenger or park where you have to get out to get a ticket. No other downside.
E30 to RHD will devalue the car and in some cases there are no E30 RHD M3 parts and 325 sport parts have to be used...looked into all of this when I first considered LHD.
