Fall Line places this warning on all of their roll bars, including their competition cars running in professional race series all over the US. It may be an awkwardly worded legal disclaimer, but the reasoning behind it is sound- there is absolutely no way to know all of what can potentially happen in a racing crash. You can create the best roll cage in the world, but there are multi-car accidents, there are accidents when cars exit the track at 150mph +, and there are and always will be crashes that no amount of safety can protect from.

For that reason, no roll cage fabricator should make the claim that their piece of safety equipment will absolutely protect from an on-track collision. Anyone who has seen racing accidents even on film can understand this.

With all of that being said, Fall Line Motorsports is one of the most qualified racing houses in the US. With cars constantly campaigned in Grand Am, SCCA, NASA, and just about every other form of road racing available in the US, Fall Line is and always will be IND's only trusted partner is safety equipment for our clients.

Looks wise the OEM mirrors match the theme of any modded M3 better, those look like they belong on the DTM race car. That's not to say that they aren't epic though.. lol

Is this a weld in cage or just a bolt in cage?

The Fall-line bolt-in cage is installed in another E90 M3. Powerbeast went with a welded option.

Cool updates, but I have to agree. Hope the car actually gets tracked though.

And anyone else wowed by the price of those side mirrors.

The mirrors are OE BMW RLL race mirrors.... so yes, they do belong on a race car.

Either way though, the car looks sweet and you're going all out on it. If you're going to go all out on something, do it with taste which you definitely are!
I initially bought an E90 thinking I would actually use the back seat and the rear doors would come in handy, long story short 6 months go buy I never even opened the rear doors lol so I decided to go all out on the interior and adding a cage was just something I have always wanted to do.

Although I am not specifically building this car for the track the car will see some significant track time.
