AST Multipoint Weld-in Roll Cage BMW E30 Sedan V3 NASCAR door

The AST Multipoint Weld-in Roll Cage BMW E30 Saloon V3 NASCAR Door Bars is a full roll cage for the rear-wheel-drive BMW E30 with 4-door saloon bodywork. This Multipoint E30 Saloon V3 NASCAR builds on the V2 and adds the door bars, straight away in the NASCAR version with several curved tubes per door.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain, for drifters and track drivers who want to make their rear-wheel-drive E30 more rigid with a cage that is welded to the bodyshell at ten points.

Key benefits

• Ten welded mounting points instead of eight, spreading the forces across more points in the bodyshell.
• NASCAR-style door bars, the step that sets the V3 apart from the V2.
• More side protection, as several curved tubes cover the door area.
• More room to get in than with a straight door bar, which is welcome on a four-door.
• More rigid bodyshell, which makes the suspension work more predictably when drifting.
• Fully custom-designed for the E30 Saloon, with no modification work needed.
• For the rear-wheel-drive E30, tailored to that driveline.

Fitting and delivery

The cage is built to order; the standard delivery time is 15 to 35 working days. With a multipoint version, ten welded mounting points and the associated gussets have to be carefully prepared, so allow sufficient workshop time for this. AST digitises the bodyshell with laser scanners and designs the cage in 3D, so that it fits your car exactly.

With ten welded mounting points and NASCAR door bars, the V3 takes the rear-wheel-drive E30 Saloon to competition level in one go.

Why choose this Multipoint E30 Saloon V3 NASCAR roll cage?

The V3 is the point at which a cage starts to offer real side protection, and in the multipoint version you get two extra welded mounting points on top. For an E30 that does a lot of drifting, that means a bodyshell that flexes less and therefore responds more predictably. The NASCAR door bars provide that protection without you having to squeeze past a straight bar every time you drive.
