            actually me and the jdm guy's don't get along which mean's honda and nissan guy's. They have there thing and we have our thing. There's about 6 e30's in my town and yeah. I just want to do it I did drive a right hand drive civic once that was from japan and I really liked it and nobody around has it done. So don't be jelious and hate on sombody that want's to be diffrant.

              With proper English out the door, you would fit well in a car designed to be driven on the other side of the road.

              Jokes aside, good luck with everything. It would be quite unique here in the states.

                Look for a grey market 323i baur e30. We had two that use to come in the dealer back around the early 90's that both were right hand drive cars. Maybe you will get lucky and find one laying around... OR NOT.

                  Can you even modify a LHD car to be RHD? It seems the unibodies would have to be completely opposite. If so, you would have to change out the entire firewall of the car.

                    not hating, just go buy an old us postal mail truck if you want to drive on the other side of the car. or maybe you just want to deliver mail in an e30?

                    and yes, there would be such a huge amount too change, that it would be easier and cheaper just to find a RHD car.

                      Lol work for the U.S. goverment. I'd rather be a garbage man. But It was just an idea I'm going over to europe later this year. Maybe I'll find a shell and ship it back over or something and if I was dieing to have a right hand drive car I would of stuck to my AE86 toyota that would of been easy to do. But I guess it's just ment to be with left hand drive on this bmw.

                        I think you're right, we go LHD to RHD with M3's and I'm pretty sure that main bulkhead has to be swapped to do it properly. Is definately do-able tho.
