AST Weld-in Roll Cage BMW E34 Touring V1

The AST Weld-in Roll Cage BMW E34 Touring V1 is a full roll cage for the BMW E34 5 Series with 5-door Touring bodywork. This E34 Touring V1 weld-in cage forms the basis of the weld-in range: a main hoop with backstays that is permanently joined to the bodyshell at 8 welded mounting points.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain, for drivers who want to give their E34 Touring a fixed safety structure without going straight for the most extensive bar package.

Key benefits

• Eight welded mounting points spread the loads across the floor and pillars rather than a handful of bolts.
• E355 steel with a 45 mm main hoop and a 40 mm secondary structure.
• 3 mm reinforcement plates custom-designed for each car, so every weld lands on prepared panelwork.
• Manufacturer’s weight of 71 kg as quoted by AST for this version.
• Complete weld-in kit including gussets, bolts, washers and nuts.
• Supplied unpainted, so you decide on the surface preparation and colour yourself.
• Designed specifically for the Touring; a cage for the saloon will not fit this five-door body.

Fitting and delivery

The cage is built to order; the standard delivery time is 15 to 35 working days. Welding it in is a job for a specialist: the eight welded mounting points must be bare, rust-free metal and fully welded through before the car is put under load. AST digitises the bodyshell with laser scanners and designs the cage in 3D, so it fits your car exactly.

The V1 gives the BMW E34 Touring a permanently welded-in safety structure in one go, without unnecessary bars.

Why choose this Weld-in E34 Touring V1 roll cage?

A welded-in cage is more rigid than a bolted cage, because the structure and the bodyshell become a single unit. The V1 keeps that principle as simple as possible: you get the main hoop with backstays and the associated reinforcements, and no further bars that you do not yet need at this level. That makes it a logical starting point for an E34 Touring that is just beginning its first season on track.

Frequently asked questions

Can I fit this cage myself?

Only if you are a certified welder yourself. The E34 Touring V1 weld-in cage is permanently welded to the bodyshell and cannot be removed afterwards, so the quality of the welding directly determines how safe the cage is.
