[GAJ1]

Well somehow my brother got the two pieces in today while i was at work. will need to cut the dash some more now though. too dark to take photos when i come home but will sort something out soon

You could go for a Pleie Sport or a Weichers Sport cage. Both from Germany.

The new M3 GTS has a Pleie Sport half cage...............







But they do whole cages: heres one in a Golf:








I have contacted Pleie to see what they would want for the M3 GTS type bars for my compact. If I get a response I'll post it in here.

They are at: http://www.pleie-sport.de/kontakt.htm

am i just been picky ?? i would never ever fit a cage to my car that had front legs like in that golf, the hole idea of a cage is for it to follow the structure of the shell to reinforse it. i know that its not a bmw but my 106 cage from Frabricage followed the shell that well i could weld it stright to the A and B posts

looks more of a trackday cage in my eye's. one good slam dunk on the roof and they could give in. crossbars would deffo help that cage..

Finally got the cage together today after the car thawed out . I had to butcher the corners of the dash to get it in so it's not the prettiest fitted cage out there. Got to get it out now, paint it, prep the floor, weld the plates, refit, drill the holes and hey presto, it's done

looks like a good fit george, might have been easier to unbolt the dash first , maybe take it out, get another and cut it from the back? the tar comes off easy with heat gun and it weights a load

That is a much better fit than mine, I would have been happy with a cage like that. My front bars are well inside the door, behind the dash, and the centre hoop is not as far back.

You can see the front leg in this pick, ignore the clown in the background, he's the painter.

Check out tornado motorsport in derby, he did me my weld in cage in my e30 and its a cracking job.Thinking of sending him my road rally e30 now for a bolt in cage.

I wouldn't buy a Safety devices cage on principal.

You used to be able to buy any S D cage from any motorsoprt supplier and ring around for the best price.

Now you have to go to one outlet for that make and sometimes a different outlet because of the model.

If you ring say the Ford cage man he can't supply the BMW cage....if that aint rigging the market I don't know what is!!!!

Ring ring.......hello mr competition commission man!!!!!

Stick to Sparco/OMP or if it's a shell,Custom cages are fantastic.
