AST Removable Roll Cage BMW E30 Touring V3

The AST Removable Roll Cage BMW E30 Touring V3 is a full roll cage for the BMW E30 3 Series with 5-door Touring bodywork. This Removable Roll Cage E30 Touring V3 is built for the rear-wheel-drive E30 Touring and goes further than the V2: in addition to the front reinforcement bars to the bulkhead, you get door bars here that shield the driver in a side impact.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain, for drivers who want the highest level of protection within this removable range.

Key benefits

• Door bars: lateral tubes in the door area protect you in a side impact, exactly where the crumple zone is smallest.
• Front reinforcement bars: the link to the bulkhead from V2 is retained, so the front end remains tied into the structure.
• Highest rigidity in the range: the complete set of bars makes the bodyshell the least susceptible to torsion.
• Six bolting points: bolted onto six foot plates that are welded to the bodyshell.
• Still removable: the connecting sleeves let you take even this heavily equipped version out of the car in sections.
• E355 steel: 45 mm main hoop, 40 mm for the other tubes.
• Custom-made from a laser scan: every tube and plate has been designed around the digitised 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, after which the cage is bolted onto them. With this version, think about ease of entry beforehand: door bars make getting in and out tighter, especially in combination with a bucket seat.

With door bars added, this is the most complete removable roll cage that AST builds for the E30 Touring.

Why choose this Removable Roll Cage E30 Touring V3?

Side impacts are the rule rather than the exception on a drift track, and that is exactly where a standard cage offers little. V3 fills that gap with door bars without giving up the advantages of the range: the cage remains removable and still fits exactly thanks to the laser scan of the chassis. For anyone using their E30 Touring seriously, this is the final step in the range.

Frequently asked questions

What does V3 add compared with V2?

The Removable Roll Cage E30 Touring V3 has door bars that V2 does not have. The front reinforcement bars to the bulkhead are also included, so V3 contains everything V2 offers plus the side protection.

Does this cage fit the all-wheel-drive E30 325iX?

No. This version is designed for the rear-wheel-drive E30 Touring. For the all-wheel-drive 325iX, AST supplies a separate AWD version with its own part number.

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.
