AST Bolt-in Roll Cage BMW E46 Touring V1

The AST Bolt-in Roll Cage BMW E46 Touring V1 is a full roll cage for the BMW E46 with 5-door Touring bodywork. This Bolt-in E46 Touring V1 is the entry level of the range, with a main hoop and braces secured at six bolting points to six foot plates welded to the bodyshell.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain, for drivers who are converting their Touring into a safe drift or track car and want to start with a straightforward basic structure.

Key benefits

• Six welded foot plates distribute the forces across the floor pan; the cage itself is bolted onto them.
• Supplied in sections with connecting sleeves, so the structure can pass through the doors of the Touring.
• E355 steel with a 45 mm main hoop and the rest of the structure in 40 mm.
• Custom fit thanks to a laser scan of the bodyshell and a 3D design for each model.
• Complete kit with reinforcement plates, bolts, washers, nuts, documentation and a sticker set.
• Lightest configuration in the range, keeping the Touring’s load space as usable as possible.
• Supplied unpainted so you can choose the colour and finish yourself.

Why choose this Bolt-in E46 Touring V1 roll cage?

AST digitises the bodyshell with laser scanners and designs the cage in 3D, so that it fits your car exactly. As a result, the foot plates fit snugly and there is no need for trial fitting and measuring during the build. Version V1 gives you the safety gain of a full roll cage at the lowest entry level in the range.
