rjac001 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2012 RHD = been tampered with, not original which means less value, if your gonna get a E30 M3 it's gotta be LHD! The are no different to drive and actually easier to park!... But not so good for drive thru LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

euroriffic 607 Report post Posted April 23, 2012 According to total BMW magazine there were only two genuine rhd e30 m3s ever made and I'm pretty sure they were both black and in japan. I'm guessing this has been converted to rhd later in life Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing this has been converted to rhd later in life As far as I was aware No E30 M3s left the factory RHD although Birds of UK did do quite a few conversions after they left the factory for the UK market. Also Road and Track in Rotorua did a few conversions aswell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also Road and Track in Rotorua did a few conversions aswell. They did do some, certainly the two in the Total BMW Magazine that went to Japan or Hong Kong or somewhere, and urban myth has it they made one for Denny Hulme which may now be in Australia. But this one will be an aftermarket conversion, probably has standard E30 five turns lock to lock steering rack... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted April 24, 2012 But this one will be an aftermarket conversion, probably has standard E30 five turns lock to lock steering rack...Which will make it far less collectable unfortunately, original un-molested models are the "collectors" cars, especially with genuine low mileage and preferrably with the dog-leg gearbox (probably not fitted to this car as it's US spec).Looks to be a good condition car, but the RHD is a big down-side for most purists.

But this one will be an aftermarket conversion, probably has standard E30 five turns lock to lock steering rack... Road and Track converted the two EVO 2 NZ new cars, one red and the other Macau Blue. One of the factory RHD cars was recently sold to Hong Kong from Japan. I think the rumoured Denny Hulme car was actually converted in Australia. There are a lot of RHD M3's here in NZ. A few years ago a group of owners commissioned an engineering firm to make pinions to the correct ratio for them to fit to their RHD steering racks. From memory six pinions were made, so we have some RHD M3's running around with the factory ratio steering rack. A bit of trivia for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
