Does anyone know if it is possible to convert it from LHD to RHD ? If so, any ideas on about how much it would cost?

Generally it would be possible... But it would maybe better for you to check out available cars over in UK and ship one to Australia. Would probably much cheaper. I do know some 8ers on sale in the UK. Greetings from Germany,

Thankyou marc! Just a question about rust .etc with UK cars, isnt there a chance of it occurring due to them putting salt on the roads to combat ice? (I only ask as I was looking at importing one from Japan for this very reason)

The car is in quite good condition. Most probably only driven during summertime.

In general people tend to overevaluate the problem. Haven´t heard of any severe rust problems with BMW´s

excellent, thankyou. Have to find out about getting a new dash installed from mph -> kmh
