    Post LHD conversion using RHD donnor

    Hello to the forum.
    I just found a right hand drive Z4, which I want to use as a donor to upgrade my LHD Z4.
    Apparently I am only interested in the exterior - mechanical side, so..
    Apart from steering rack and some hoses and pipes, what else would be not usable?
    Brake lines possibly etc.
    Please if anyone who has done it enlight me on issues that may come up and make the project impossible or way too expensive.
    Thank you in advance all for your time,

    What exactly are you "converting" here? 3.0 RHD engine in a 2.0 LHD Z4? Or are you trying to convert a LHD car to RHD?

    That will be an extremely challenging build. I would think it a lot easier to sell your si and buy an M.

    That's too easy!

    Don't worry OP. I also would rather take on the challenge of conversions and pissing $$$ away
