LHD E36 M3

Recommended Posts

Crazy, fresh import from Japan, LHD 3.0 M3. Surely it wouldnt be that economical to import and comply something like this these days?

Its clearly super basic racecar spec too, basic OBC, basic audio, manual seats, but does have a passenger airbag, sunroof and arm rest.

Looks very tidy, if at the higher end of the $$$ scale though.

Plenty of bits for E36 to convert to rhd.

Retrofit full on board whilst your there.

That's a very tidy example, would be quite different driving LHD E36 M3, hopefully they import more, some from mainland europe and uk territory where it seems like the best examples are hiding there :) . Must not be all that uneconomical to get these into the country?

I actually like that its LHD, as it was how an E36 was designed to be.

The price is ok if its good, its easy to buy a rough one for 10k, but you can easily spend another 10k making it decent.

Ok, that one i REALLY dont understand. The US M3s are crap. Basically just fancy 328is. Japanese are weird too, importing the US M3 to Japan. The VIN checks out as a real US M3, but (clearly from the pics) its had a respray from Mugellorot.

i REALLY want those BBS wheels though.

Much rather buy Brents one. Its a real M3, RHD, and low KM. Just needs an owner that has hookups with paint/panel.

Looking at it more, i really want the wheels, strut brace, and rear wing.

The GruppeM intake and BMW MI strut brace in the US version would be worth more than the engine I would think.

Although that engine would be a nice transplant into a 328.

But it's no M3...

At least the badging is honest. 330is indeed!
