Hi All,

I've just joined and this is my first post to say a BIG HELLO from Australia, what a great site and some awesome rides!!!

But and there's always a but, i'm moving from Aussie in a couple of months over to Sweden and I'm looking for some advice on getting a 325i Tourer, I know they're lhd over there for some strange reason, but I'd like to get a LHD tourer in the UK and take it over, does anyone know where I can get one from and roughly how much it'll cost.

Apologies for asking so many questions but coming from the land down under the car scene here is a bit different so any help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers!!!! :D

I think you'll find they drive on the right - hence the need for a LHD car :o

I've got a LHD rolling touring shell (see 'Cars for Sale' section) but you'd have to get an engine, gearbox and exhaust to make it go! Having lived and bought cars abroad, I found it is always far easier to purchase within the country once you are there. You might find a decent E30 Touring, and could always have a 325 engine swapped in.
