Hey all Basically im shipping my BMW 645 to lagos this week. What are the cost implications of converting to lhd ( if it can be done ) and whats the status on the RHD ban in nigeria? I know a couple of people who drive expensive cars that are rhd only and there dont seem to be any problems.  |

If you must convert a car from RHD to LHD in Nigeria make it a fairly simple car that car "converters" have done repeatedly and have some experience of. Run about Japanese saloons, older European cars and Peugeot 406s come to mind. The older the car the better. Some claim a good success rate with newer cars (up to 8 years old) and I'm sure some of them are quite good. However if you convert a car such as the BMW 645 coupe I suspect your days of truly enjoying that car are over. Really you are not seriously considering this are you? 1 Like |

I also dont mind selling the car but ive had to move back to lagos due to some unforseen circumstances so im just curious really to see if it can be done. I will be buying either a 2013 6 series or an R8 from the US but this was just to last me till then. |
