AST Multipoint Weld-in Roll Cage BMW E46 Touring V5 NASCAR door

The AST Multipoint Weld-in Roll Cage BMW E46 Touring V5 NASCAR Door Bars is a full roll cage for the BMW E46 with 5-door Touring bodywork. This Multipoint E46 Touring V5 NASCAR is the top model in the range: the complete set of bars, combined with ten welded mounting points on the bodyshell and NASCAR door bars.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain, for drivers who are building their Touring into a fully fledged competition car and want to get the most out of the structure.

Key benefits

• Complete set of bars: the full V5 package, the most comprehensive specification AST designs for this chassis.
• Ten welded mounting points: the multipoint design connects the cage to the bodyshell at ten locations, two more than a standard weld-in cage.
• NASCAR door bars: several curved tubes per door replace the standard door bar and put more material between the driver and a side impact.
• Practical entry: the tubes follow the shape of the door opening instead of running straight across it, so you can still get in and out easily.
• E355 steel: main hoop with a 45 mm diameter, the rest of the structure 40 mm.
• Custom reinforcement: gussets, reinforcement plates and foot plates in 3 mm steel, designed for each car.
• Complete weld-in kit: bolts, washers and nuts, documentation, fitting instructions and a sticker set are included.

Fitting and delivery

The cage is built to order; the standard delivery time is 15 to 35 working days. AST digitises the bodyshell with laser scanners and designs the cage in 3D, so that it fits your car exactly. This is the most extensive version in the range, so expect to strip the interior completely and to spend more hours welding than with any other version.

Everything AST designs for the E46 Touring, welded in at ten points and with door bars that do not get in your way.

Why choose this Multipoint E46 Touring V5 NASCAR roll cage?

This is the end of the line for the range: there are no more bars or welded mounting points available for this Touring. So you will not need to add anything later, which makes a difference once your car has been painted and fully reassembled. The NASCAR door bars also mean that this most comprehensive package is still pleasant to get into every day, something that is anything but a given with a cage of this size.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the most comprehensive version for the E46 Touring?

Yes. This Multipoint E46 Touring V5 NASCAR includes the complete set of bars and is welded in at ten points, which is the highest specification AST supplies for this body style.

How does AST make sure the cage fits?

The bodyshell is digitised with laser scanners and the cage is designed in 3D on the basis of that scan. As a result, the tubes, the gussets and the 3 mm steel foot plates end up where they belong.
