AST Weld-in Roll Cage BMW E24 Coupé V2

The AST Weld-in Roll Cage BMW E24 Coupé V2 is a full roll cage for the BMW 6 Series (E24) with 2-door coupé bodywork. This Weld-in E24 Coupé V2 builds on the base cage and adds front reinforcement bars that run through to the bulkhead.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain, for owners who want to stiffen the long nose of the E24 and keep the front suspension better controlled under load.

Key benefits

• Front bars to the bulkhead: forces from the front end are transferred into the main structure.
• Noticeably stiffer nose: particularly welcome given the long wheelbase and heavy front end of the 6 Series.
• 8 welded mounting points: permanently welded in for an inseparable bond with the bodyshell.
• E355 steel: main hoop 45 mm, rest of the structure 40 mm.
• 3 mm steel foot plates: custom-designed for each car and welded in along with the cage.
• Complete weld-in kit: gussets, reinforcement plates and mounting hardware included.
• Unpainted: ready for your own surface preparation and paintwork.

Fitting and delivery

The cage is built to order; the standard delivery time is 15 to 35 working days. Bear in mind that the front bars run through the dashboard area, so plan the removal of the dashboard and wiring before you start welding.

With the front bars to the bulkhead, the long nose of the E24 becomes far less susceptible to torsion.

Why choose this Weld-in E24 Coupé V2 roll cage?

The V2 is the step at which a roll cage improves not only safety but also handling. The extra bars tie the front end to the main hoop, so steering inputs are transmitted more directly. For a car of this size and weight, that makes a noticeable difference on track.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference from the V1?

The Weld-in E24 Coupé V2 has the same main hoop and braces as the V1, but adds two front reinforcement bars running to the bulkhead. This makes the structure stiffer at the front end.

AST states on its product page that this structure has been designed to FIA Appendix J for the BMW 633 CSi and 635 CSi. No homologation number is listed for this item, so always check the regulations of your own federation or sporting body before you enter an event.
