The RHD ones were all converted (not by BMW) using 325 steering racks I think, meaning you lose some of the direct feel the E30 M3 was famous for.

Try the E30 Zone,but i think you will find that they will frown upon your request. The E30 M3 is a l/hooker because that is how it drives best. Plus the exhaust catches without serious modification. Try a proper L/Hooker, iv'e had a couple, the power is not the best but the handling is sublime. Or if you can find one go for an Alpina C27 Touring, one of the best set up bmw's ever.

I had a 1989 F reg RHD E30 M3 - I believe the conversions were carried out by Bird's (Uxbridge).

RHD ones were used in Irish Tarmac Championship.
