UBER ///M3 · 01-18-2014, 01:36 AM

Both are jaw dropping

Blindside_137 · 01-18-2014, 06:32 AM

Such mean cars. Wow

BobS · 01-18-2014, 06:39 AM

Nice looking cars. The headon shot of the e90 is my favorite.

TrevorM3 · 01-18-2014, 08:48 AM

HG Motorsports in San Diego built the cage. This was a prototype bolt in cage from my car but I ended up getting a weld in cage.

Congrats OP! Car looks sick!! Now time to get some carbon interior trim

s85e90 · 01-18-2014, 01:38 PM

Cage looks sick and HG does nice work, but if welded in, why have the pins and removable bars. Can't stand that look on cages. Why not just run a full tube?

Love the white wheels!

edit: see that you're diff than the OP so I guess OP's cage is a bolt in affair

The quality looks great. But I agree, if you're going to weld in a cage, why have the pins there? Those areas are weaker than it would be if you were to run a full bar.

The pictures were from the OP's cage when it was being built.

This is my current & final cage.

Sorry hope I'm not thread jacking.

Not thread jacking at all. If it wasn't for you I'd still be trying to figure out my cage situation lol

As stated above mine is a bolt in so the pins are a must.

JEllis · 01-18-2014, 04:47 PM

Cars look nice

e-solo · 01-18-2014, 04:58 PM

Cars both look nice. The E46 is so classic, I hate that I sold mine! I almost like the look of the E46 more than the E90. Maybe its just me.

The e46 M3 is one of the best body styles BMW has ever made.
