Roll Cage
Geoff & Matt at ETA Motorsport at Brands Hatch did the work. I must say they did an excellent job, and they very knowledgeable with regards to BM's. I would recommended them, 5 star. My aim is to build a Track day car which I can use on the road with standard insurance, ½ cages are easier to insure because of the less likelihood of head injuries to the driver and passenger whilst not wearing crash helmets on the road. Putting in a full cage is too much agro , getting in and out, messes up the dash. I have come up with a idea from Custom Cages who build full 8 point cages for e46, basically its ½ the package. I just want protection in case of a roll over. You need some protection when wearing full harnesses, on track days. |

I can say that I know Matt & Geoff from ETA, they come with a wealth of knowledge where BMWs are concerned. Cage looks good, how long did it take.

i do not agree. BMW sell the cars as 4 seaters and it is a good selling point for people that buy them as day to day family cars (i am convinced they wouldnt have sold 200 caged cars on 2003/4)
BUT maybe a caged clubsport option would have been nice |
