Frank, can you supply me with the name and contact info for your importer? I'd like to get some information on the conversion. Thanks!
: : there is a *sweet* right hand drive M6 for sale in Austrailia. I want it. Is there any way to import the car? Does anybody know approx. cost? has anybody ever seen aa rhd 6 car in the US? If so, where? VERY cool.

: Hi Joe,
: Last year I imported a M535i from Switzerland. It was (is) pretty expensive to have the car converted to US emmission regs & DOT. ($6K). Cost of transport by ocean freight only $600. So make sure if you do this, get a good price on the car. AND you cannot do this conversion yourself --unless you have the ROI license papers filed with DOT & EPA.
: Any car newer than 1974 will have to go through this conversion to make the car "legal" in the US.
: And be prepared for some local burecratic red tape once the car is fully converted etc. The cops really "loved" my car when I had it inspected --lucky for me there is no emmision checking where I live so that was a no brainer. But the car would meet those standards anyway (registered importer gave me 5 years emmission warranty)
: For more info look here.
: Later,
