AST Removable Roll Cage BMW E30 Sedan AWD V3

The AST Removable Roll Cage BMW E30 Saloon AWD V3 is a full roll cage for the all-wheel-drive BMW E30 325iX with 4-door saloon bodywork. This Removable roll cage E30 Saloon AWD V3 has everything the AWD V2 offers, including the front reinforcement bars running to the bulkhead, and adds door bars for side protection. The structure is bolted down at six points on six welded foot plates and remains removable via connecting sleeves.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain, specifically around the 325iX, for drivers who want the highest level of equipment in this range.

Fitting and delivery

The cage is built to order; the standard delivery time is 15 to 35 working days. The six foot plates are welded to the bodyshell by a specialist fitter, after which the cage is bolted onto them. With the door bars, think ahead about getting in and out and about the space for your bucket seat and harness. AST digitises the bodyshell with laser scanners and designs the cage in 3D, so that it fits your 325iX exactly.

The complete package for the 325iX: all-round protection, bars running to the bulkhead and door bars alongside the driver.

Why choose this Removable Roll Cage E30 Saloon AWD V3?

Anyone who takes a 325iX on track rarely builds it twice. With this V3 you go straight to the highest level: the rigidity gain from the front bars, plus door bars that supplement the thin doors of an E30. The cage also remains removable, so the car does not have to come off the road for good.

Frequently asked questions

What does the V3 add compared with the AWD V2?

This Removable roll cage E30 Saloon AWD V3 has door bars, which the V2 does not. Otherwise both versions share the same construction, with six bolting points on six welded foot plates and front reinforcement bars running to the bulkhead.

Does this cage fit a rear-wheel-drive E30?

No. This version is made for the all-wheel-drive E30 325iX Saloon; for the rear-wheel-drive E30, AST offers a separate RWD version.

Can I still get in and out normally with door bars fitted?

Getting in and out takes more effort than with a cage without door bars. Bear this in mind if you also use the car on the road; the cage is, however, fully removable.

What if my car has a sunroof?

When ordering, please state whether your car has a sunroof, and AST will tailor the roll cage accordingly.

What is the delivery time?

The standard delivery time for this roll cage is 15 to 35 working days.
