AST Removable Roll Cage BMW E82 Coupé V3

The AST Removable Roll Cage BMW E82 Coupé V3 is a full roll cage for the BMW 1 Series E82 with 2-door coupé bodywork. This Removable Roll Cage E82 Coupé V3 has door bars in addition to the front reinforcement bars, making it the highest specification level in the removable range for this model.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain for drivers who want side protection without giving up the option of taking the cage out again. All sections are joined via connecting sleeves.

Key benefits

• Door bars: the V3 adds side protection on top of the front reinforcement bars of the V2.
• Still removable: the connecting sleeves let you take the cage out of the car in sections.
• Six bolting points: the cage is secured to six foot plates welded to the bodyshell.
• E355 steel: 45 mm main hoop, 40 mm for the rest of the structure.
• 3 mm foot plates: custom-designed for the E82, not cut to a universal pattern.
• Laser-measured: the bodyshell has been digitised and the cage developed in 3D.
• Unpainted: you choose the colour and the paint process yourself.

Fitting and delivery

The cage is built to order; the standard delivery time is 15 to 35 working days. Bear in mind that the door bars narrow the entry opening and that the door cards may need to be modified. The six foot plates are welded to the bodyshell before the cage is bolted onto them. This cage is intended for track and competition use; check the regulations of your own governing body or organiser.

Side protection with door bars, and thanks to the connecting sleeves the cage can still come out.

Why choose this removable roll cage E82 Coupé V3?

In drifting and on track, contact usually comes from the side. That is why door bars are the first step many drivers take after a basic cage. This V3 combines that protection with the full front-to-rear structure, while AST digitises the bodyshell with laser scanners and designs the cage in 3D so that it fits your E82 exactly.
