Have you ever tried a square setup on the M3? It really changes the character of the car when pushed closer to the limit. Not something you would notice at 8/10 though.
This was not under high throttle application. Rather medium speed corner, maybe 140kph. The situation can be seen on the 3rd video here somewhere in the middle (miss-hit-miss corner, can look up the timestamp at home. At work, youtube is blocked): http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=831103

I have never tried a square setup M3 as it's not just plug and play, at least not in Germany. I ran a square setup on my previous E46 330i and it was fine. But this was understeering a lot in stock form (also square though).
