AST Weld-in Roll Cage BMW E36 Touring V4

The AST Weld-in Roll Cage BMW E36 Touring V4 is a full roll cage for the BMW E36 with 5-door Touring bodywork. This Weld-in Touring V4 goes further than the V3 with extra diagonal bars and harness bars, providing more rigidity and a fixed mounting point for your harness. The cage is permanently welded in at 8 welded mounting points.

The cage is designed and built by AST Roll Cages in Spain, for drivers whose Touring is already fully prepared to competition level and who want to complete the safety chain.

Key benefits

• Extra diagonal bars that brace the structure within its planes and counteract deformation.
• Harness bars as a fixed anchorage point for your shoulder straps behind the seats.
• Door bars from the V3 are retained for side protection.
• Front reinforcement bars tie the front section of the car into the rest of the cage.
• Eight welded mounting points, permanently welded to the bodyshell with the supplied reinforcement plates.
• Unpainted steel that you finish yourself in your own colour after fitting.
• Documentation and fitting instructions, plus all the mounting hardware in the weld-in kit.

Fitting and delivery

The cage is built to order; the standard delivery time is 15 to 35 working days. Decide on the seat position with your mechanic first, as the harness bars need to sit at the right height behind your shoulders.

Diagonals and harness bars make the V4 the first version that really calls for a competition seat and a harness.

Why choose this Weld-in Touring V4 roll cage?

A harness does not belong on the original seat belt anchorages of an E36. That is why this Weld-in Touring V4 roll cage comes with harness bars, together with extra diagonals that tighten up the whole structure. AST digitises the bodyshell with laser scanners and designs the cage in 3D, so those harness bars end up in the right place behind the seats. That way the safety chain is sound from seat to cage and you get the most out of your harness.

Frequently asked questions

What are the harness bars for?

The harness bars of the Weld-in Touring V4 give your shoulder straps a fixed mounting point at the correct height, instead of the original seat belt anchorages of the E36.

What is the difference from the multipoint version?

The difference lies in the welded mounting points: this weld-in version is welded to the bodyshell at 8 points, the multipoint version at 10.

How accurately does this cage fit?

AST digitises the bodyshell with laser scanners and then draws up the cage in 3D, car by car. As a result, the tubes and the 3 mm steel reinforcement plates are tailored specifically to the 5-door E36 Touring.

What is the delivery time?

The standard delivery time for this roll cage is 15 to 35 working days.
