Never done one in a BMW but installed one of their T45 multipoint cages in a Mk4 Golf a while ago.
The tubes weren't the best fit ever (main hoop was 50mm too wide to fit in the car) and the 'shaped' ends needed loads of work to make them right.
They are top cages though but my advice would be to get them to fit it - it really is a git of a job unless you're a very experienced welder!

Yes the tubes were generaly too long and needed cutting . But the bends were in the right place !

I have used them in my last two cars both fitted very well, you will need to cut to length and be handy with a welder.

tam,

why not try this lot. at least one zoner has used them and was impressed, think they might be mates though. im pretty sure i will be using them later on in the year unless i hear any bad feedback.

pretty local to you and their prices seem on a par with a customcage job.
