Is the chassis strong enough? I have seen M3 Engines with gearboxes and looms and ecu etc for roughly £2000.

Is the chassis strong enough? | I have the m3 caster plates in the front, along with bilstein shocks and h&r springs. I haven't put the m3 brakes on yet because i just recently got wheels that fit over the brake calipers... As far as i can tell the chassis is fine, it's not all that much different than a regular 3-series. I also have a much stronger differential than a stock one though.
