Buying a RHD m3 for the US

[Edjay]

You can get one. Very expensive. Its Legal to have. Its safe.

After the novelty has worn off, you will find the car very inconvenient. No drive through unless you have a passenger. Toll booths gets annoying. Ridiculous comments and jokes at the gas station gets old.

Autox events, you will hit cones. Track days will be difficult.

If you still thinking of getting one. Contact a Registered Importer. You can get the info you need from them. They are the only ones that can import one for you legally.

Can really care less about comments! More worried about price tag on this!
Also care to elaborate on difficulties at the track? Or hitting cones at autox?
Do they drive at the track in Europe or some countries in Asia?

Yes they have tracks and whats equivalent to AutoX there. But they are used to right hand drive. Your line of sight from the right seat is totally different than from the left seat. You don't notice this when your just a pass. Even just making left turns feels weird.

Look up a Registered Importer near you. They can give you a price on what it takes to legally import one. I would not risk not going through a RI, with the price of an M3(E9X). ICE will crush the car if you get caught with one thats not properly imported, even after the car has been titled and registered.
