AST Weld-in Roll Cage BMW E30 Touring V5 NASCAR door

The AST Weld-in Roll Cage BMW E30 Touring V5 NASCAR Door Bars is a full roll cage for the rear-wheel-drive BMW 3 Series (E30) with 5-door Touring bodywork. This Weld-in E30 Touring V5 NASCAR combines the complete bar set with several curved tubes in the door instead of the standard door bar.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain, for drivers who want the most comprehensively equipped weld-in cage and opt for the best side protection.

Key benefits

• Complete bar set: the most comprehensive specification in the weld-in range, done in one go.
• NASCAR door tubes: several curved tubes in the door instead of a single door bar.
• More side protection: the forces of a side impact are spread across several tubes.
• More room to get in: the curved shape gives your shoulder and hip more space when getting in and out.
• Eight welded mounting points: permanently welded to the bodyshell for the highest torsional rigidity.
• Custom-made via laser scan: the E30 Touring is digitised and the cage is drawn up in 3D.
• Unpainted weld-in kit: with gussets, reinforcement plates, mounting hardware, documentation, fitting instructions and a sticker set.

Fitting and delivery

The cage is built to order; the standard delivery time is 15 to 35 working days. Expect the car to be stripped during the build: trim, panels and door cards have to come out or be modified. Have the welding carried out by a professional, as the welds determine the strength.

The most heavily specified weld-in cage for the E30 Touring, with curved door tubes that combine protection with room to get in and out.

Why choose this Weld-in E30 Touring V5 NASCAR roll cage?

This is the top of the weld-in range: every bar is included and the doors are done in NASCAR style. You won’t have to weld again later in a car that has already been built up, and you drive with the best side protection AST offers for this model.

Frequently asked questions

What do the NASCAR door bars give me compared with the standard V5?

The Weld-in E30 Touring V5 NASCAR has several curved tubes in the door instead of the standard door bar. That gives more side protection and more room to get in and out; the rest of the bar layout is identical.

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

No. This cage is for the rear-wheel-drive E30 Touring; for the all-wheel-drive 325iX, AST supplies a separate cage.
