AST Removable Roll Cage BMW E30 Touring V2

The AST Removable Roll Cage BMW E30 Touring V2 is a full roll cage for the BMW E30 3 Series with 5-door Touring bodywork. This Removable Roll Cage E30 Touring V2 is built for the rear-wheel-drive E30 Touring and builds on the basic layout of the V1 by adding front reinforcement bars to the bulkhead, making the front section of the car considerably more rigid.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain, for drivers who are looking for greater chassis rigidity as well as protection.

Key benefits

• Reinforcement bars to the front: the tubes running to the bulkhead tie the cage into the front section, increasing torsional rigidity.
• Sharper steering feel: a more rigid front end makes the response to steering input more direct and predictable.
• Full enclosure: the structure surrounds both the front and rear compartments.
• Six bolting points: bolted onto six foot plates that are welded to the bodyshell.
• Removable: the connecting sleeves let you take the cage out of the car in sections.
• E355 steel 45 mm main hoop, 40 mm for the rest of the structure.
• Exact custom fit: designed from a laser scan of the E30 Touring bodyshell.
• Available for cars with and without a sunroof – you choose this when ordering

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 first, after which the cage is bolted onto them. Bear in mind that the bars to the bulkhead take up extra space at the front of the car, so check the position of any accessories there beforehand.

With the bars to the bulkhead, your E30 Touring becomes not only safer but also noticeably more rigid on track.

Why choose this Removable Roll Cage E30 Touring V2?

V2 is the logical choice as soon as you notice the bodyshell of your E30 Touring flexing in corners. Tying the cage into the bulkhead brings the front section into the structure, so the car feels more settled on track. AST builds the cage from a laser scan of the chassis, so you get that gain without any trial fitting or modification work during the build.

Frequently asked questions

What does V2 add compared with V1?
