Then it's required to upgrade the chassis and brakes to same level than most powerful model.

Some very fast e30:s here have just standard trailing arms with no problems. Those can have alignment adjusters but no reinforcements in arm despite of using coilovers. So the deflection of trailing arms probably is not a problem.
Well, there you go, I learned something new. Is the law for production models or for the Rally class? I suspect the former.

If so, where does that put us who have S52's in the cars as far at that ratio, seeing the 3.2 S52 has higher power output that the 2.3 M52? A math formula I can figure out, but wondering how the law sees it?
