AST Half Roll Cage BMW E30 Coupé AWD V1

The AST Half Roll Cage BMW E30 Coupé AWD V1 is a half roll cage for the BMW 3 Series (E30) with 2-door coupé bodywork and all-wheel drive, in other words the E30 325iX. This Half Roll Cage E30 Coupé AWD V1 covers only the rear compartment: a main hoop with backstays behind the front seats, fixed-mounted and without connecting sleeves. This version is designed for the all-wheel-drive E30 and does not fit the rear-wheel-drive E30.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain for 325iX drivers who want to stiffen their car and have a main hoop behind them without having to sacrifice the entire interior.

Key benefits

• Specifically for the 325iX: the structure is designed around the bodyshell of the all-wheel-drive E30 Coupé.
• Interior stays usable: because the cage stays in the rear compartment, you keep the dashboard and the front of the cabin clear.
• Rigid rear end: four welded foot plates spread the loads across the panelwork around the struts.
• E355 steel: 45 mm main hoop, other tubes 40 mm.
• Fixed mounting: the cage is bolted onto the welded plates and then stays in place, which keeps the construction simple.
• Laser-scanned fit: AST scans the E30 bodyshell and designs the cage around it in 3D.
• Unpainted: you decide on the finish yourself.
• Available for cars with and without a sunroof and with and without headlining – you choose this when ordering

Fitting and delivery

A half roll cage that stiffens the rear end of the 325iX and puts a main hoop right behind the driver.

Why choose this Half Roll Cage E30 Coupé AWD V1?

AST digitises the bodyshell with laser scanners and designs the cage in 3D so that it fits your 325iX exactly. If you mainly benefit from a stiffer rear end and a main hoop behind the seats, this is the most affordable and least invasive step. You keep a usable interior and still put a serious structure in the car.

Frequently asked questions

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

No. The Half Roll Cage E30 Coupé AWD V1 is made exclusively for the all-wheel-drive E30 Coupé, the 325iX. On the rear-wheel-drive E30, the foot plates do not line up with the correct points.

Can I remove this cage later?

This version has no connecting sleeves and is designed to stay in place permanently. If you want a structure that you can take out of the car in sections, take a look at the removable version.

What if my car has a sunroof or headlining?

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

What is the delivery time?

The standard delivery time for this roll cage is 15 to 35 working days.
