In an M3, you'd expect (hope) that the typical driver has better-than-average skills, so it's odd that BMW would set up a 328 for balance, and an M3 for understeer.
So...maybe the M3 is set up for understeer simply because there will usually be enough throttle to balance it, and otherwise it would be rear-biased.

I agree and it makes sense. A rear drive car with more power and under steer would balance out and a car with less power and neutral steer would be more prone to balance.
