AST Full Roll Cage BMW E30 Coupé AWD V1

The AST Full Roll Cage BMW E30 Coupé AWD V1 is a full roll cage for the BMW 3 Series E30 with 2-door coupé bodywork and all-wheel drive. This full roll cage E30 Coupé AWD V1 is the entry-level version of the range: a main hoop with backstays, extended into the front compartment. The cage is designed around the floor pan of the all-wheel-drive 325iX and does not fit the rear-wheel-drive E30.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain, for drivers who use their 325iX on the circuit, in rally sprints or on the drift track and want a structure that spans the entire cabin.

Key benefits

• Full structure: the cage extends into the front compartment, so the A-pillars and the bulkhead are tied in as well.
• Six bolting points: the cage bolts onto six foot plates that are welded to the bodyshell, spreading the forces over a large area.
• E355 steel: main hoop with a diameter of 45 mm, the rest of the structure 40 mm.
• Laser-scanned fit: AST digitises the E30 Coupé and designs the tubes in 3D, leaving hardly any trimming or cutting to do.
• Supplied in sections: the welded structure is divided by connecting sleeves, so the parts fit through the door opening.
• Unpainted: you decide the colour and finish of the tubes yourself.
• Complete package: bolts, washers, nuts, reinforcement plates and fitting instructions are included.
• Available for cars with and without a sunroof – you choose this when ordering

Fitting and delivery

The cage is built to order; the standard delivery time is 15 to 35 working days. The six foot plates are welded to the bodyshell, after which the structure is bolted onto those plates. So allow for welding during preparation and have it carried out by an experienced body shop. AST digitises the bodyshell with laser scanners and designs the cage in 3D, so that it fits your car exactly.

An entry-level version doesn’t have to be a compromise: the V1 braces the entire cabin of the 325iX with six welded foot plates.

Why choose the full roll cage E30 Coupé AWD V1?

If you’re starting out with track days or regional drift events, you rarely need every bar, but you do want a cage that’s done right. The V1 gives you the complete basic structure front and rear, with the same tube diameters and the same foot plates as the heavier versions. That keeps the car light and uncluttered without compromising on the core of the construction.

Frequently asked questions

Does this cage also fit a rear-wheel-drive E30?

No. The full roll cage E30 Coupé AWD V1 is designed around the floor pan and transmission tunnel of the all-wheel-drive E30 Coupé, the 325iX. On a rear-wheel-drive E30, the foot plates do not line up with the correct points.

What exactly will I receive?

You receive the welded structure in sections, the connecting sleeves, the reinforcement plates, all bolts, washers and nuts, documentation, fitting instructions and a sticker set. The cage is unpainted, so you can finish it to your own taste.

What if my car has a sunroof?

When ordering, please state whether your car has a sunroof, and AST will tailor the roll cage accordingly.
