Until now I was under the impression that the m3 was never offered in a right hand drive version.
This proves that incorrect unless someone coverted this car too look like an m3 then converted it to right hand drive

I don't know for sure if it was or not, someone want to chime in with the facts?

It's a conversion, I think Birds UK (Hartge and BMW dealer) used to do RHD conversions when they were new.

just looking at the pictures can you see in flaws in the conversion?

looks pretty well done.

since there are RHD E30s, the interior doesn't really have to be custom. The real customization comes inside the engine bay with the S14, the steering system and exhaust.

ahh good point
just swap the dash to a rhd
and the hole and bracket in the firewall for the steering cloumn the hole brake system lengthen and re route the wiring harness. gett a right hand drive steering rack and have the steering column fit through a set of aftermarket or custom headers.

thats a great amount of work.
IT would be nice to see a engine bay picture.

RHD M3's were never an option from BMW. Dealerships may have done conversions in the UK, but M3's never made it to our fine shores.
Any here were privatley imported, and several have been converted to RHD. There are places here that will do a conversion for you, or if you're feeling adventurous you could do it yourself...

edit*
Here is one of the most famous M3's from Australia,

Looking at a RHD e30 (since I'm in my obviously LHD e30 every day) hurts my BRAIN!
