Funny you should mention that Ian, both my E30's have come from BMW Japan, and both are LHD, but as you rightly put it the japanese drive on the left. Still tryin to get to the bottom of that one. In dubai (which is no doubt the worlds largest stolen car market) the majority of cars come from Japan 2nd hand (or otherwise) and once in Dubai they are converted to LHD in an extreamly rough manner, so that means land cruisers, lexus etc etc etc FYI it takes them three hours to swap a land cruiser, but you have a lottery as to which electrics work and the whole loom is chopped and soldered 8O and there are thousands on BMW's mainly E34's but quite a few E30's and they all arrive as LHD. I have had a good look in my cab (with dash out) and it is originally LHD, so very confusing!

Its also good to know that they were well looked after by their owners in Japan before i bought mine :roll:
