The Ultimate Range of BMW E36 Bolt In Roll Cages

The BMW E36 remains the undisputed king of the track, from grassroots drifting to MSUK stage rallies. But as these chassis age, the demand for serious safety that doesn't require a permanent, professional weld-in install has skyrocketed.

At Custom Cages, we’ve listened. We are proud to announce a new era for the E36 community: a fully developed, precision engineered range of bolt in cages for both 2-door and 4-door models.

Why Bolt In?

For many, a weld-in cage is a point of no return. Our new bolt in range offers the perfect middle ground, uncompromising MSUK spec safety and massive leaps in chassis rigidity, with an installation process that respects your build's flexibility.

Choose Your Level of Protection

We’ve categorized our new range into three distinct tiers to ensure every driver, from the Sunday enthusiast to the seasoned rally vet, has the exact bracing they need.

The Starter Kit-

If you are transitioning your E36 from a daily driver to a dedicated weekend warrior, the Starter Kit is where your journey begins. We designed this for the enthusiast who frequents track days, sprints, and hill climbs but wants more than just a "cosmetic" interior addition.

Unlike generic cages that offer a false sense of security, this kit is built strictly to MSUK minima specifications. It focuses on the essential geometry required to create a robust safety cell. By installing the Starter Pack, you aren't just ticking a box for technical inspection; you’re investing in professional-grade engineering that allows you to push your limits into every apex with the peace of mind that you are truly protected.

The Race and Rally - 

The E36 has a legendary touring car heritage, and our Race & Rally cage is a direct homage to that history. This is a serious piece of kit designed for those entering MSUK Stage Rallies or competitive circuit racing. We’ve moved beyond the basics to include high-stress reinforcements that stiffen the entire chassis.

This configuration features A-pillar supports to prevent roof collapse during a rollover and Cross Door Bars for critical side-impact protection. We’ve ensured the cage provides full body stiffness, spanning from the front pillars all the way back to the rear turrets. 

The 'Ultimate' Kit - 

For the driver who demands everything, we created the 'Ultimate' Kit. This is, quite simply, the most comprehensive bolt in solution ever developed for the E36 platform. It doesn’t just protect the driver; it fundamentally transforms the car's handling dynamics.

The standout feature of the Ultimate Pack is the inclusion of rear stay lowers and diff pickups. By tying the roll cage directly into the rear subframe mounting points, we have solved the E36’s "weakest link" the notorious rear floor fatigue. This setup virtually eliminates chassis twist and floor flex, ensuring that every bit of torque is transferred directly to the tarmac. Whether you’re navigating a high-speed rally stage or hunting for tenths on a local circuit, this cage provides a level of rigidity usually reserved for full-blown professional works cars.

Built for the Community

Whether you’re a humble beginner initiating your first drift or a veteran shaving tenths off a lap record, our cages are designed to grow with you. We’ve used the latest 3D scanning technology to ensure a tight fit that hugs the interior pillars, maximizing cabin space without sacrificing an ounce of strength.
