AST Bolt-in Roll Cage BMW 2002 V1

The AST Bolt-in Roll Cage BMW 2002 V1 is a full roll cage for the BMW 2002 with 2-door coupé bodywork. This Bolt-in BMW 2002 V1 is the entry-level version in the bolt-in range and is secured with six bolts to six foot plates that are welded to the bodyshell.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain, for owners of a classic 2002 who want to use their car seriously in historic motorsport, on track or at drift events.

Key benefits

• Six bolting points on six foot plates welded to the bodyshell, for solid and well-distributed load absorption.
• E355 steel with a main hoop of 45 mm diameter and the rest of the structure in 40 mm.
• Custom-made for each car thanks to a laser scan of the bodyshell and a 3D design, so the tubes run tight against the bodywork.
• Supplied in sections joined by connecting sleeves, so the cage fits through the doors of the compact 2002.
• Complete package with reinforcement plates and all the bolts, washers and nuts you need.
• Unpainted on delivery, so you choose between powder coating, paint or a bare-metal look yourself.
• FIA homologation numbers: 5258, 5331, 1550, 5445 and 1663 (as stated by AST Roll Cages, for the BMW 2002, 2002 ti, 2002 tii and 2002 Turbo).

Fitting and delivery

The cage is built to order; the standard delivery time is 15 to 35 working days. Bear in mind that the six foot plates need to be welded to the bodyshell by a skilled welder before the structure is bolted on. AST digitises the bodyshell with laser scanners and designs the cage in 3D, so it fits your car exactly.

The basic cage for the classic 2002: six bolting points, E355 steel and a fit derived from a laser scan.

Why choose this Bolt-in BMW 2002 V1 roll cage?

The BMW 2002 is a compact two-door from the sixties and seventies and is still a sought-after car in historic motorsport. With a classic like this in particular, you don’t want a universal cage that has to be forced to fit. AST builds this structure from a digitised bodyshell, so you can get it into the car without improvisation and the interior space in the small 2002 remains as usable as possible.

Frequently asked questions

Does this roll cage fit my BMW 2002 without modifications?

The Bolt-in BMW 2002 V1 is designed for the 2-door coupé bodywork of the E10 and is based on a laser scan of that car. As a result, the tubes and foot plates follow the original bodywork. It is, however, still a motorsport product that should be fitted by an experienced fitter.

What exactly will I receive?

You receive the welded structure in sections, the connecting sleeves, the reinforcement plates, all bolts, washers and nuts, the documentation, fitting instructions and the sticker set. The cage is unpainted, so you decide on the finish yourself.
