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.

why would the "typical" driver of an M3 have better than average skill? Does bmw require an FIA superlicense before selling you an M3? As far as I know, the only requirement to buy an M3, or most other sports and supercars all the way up to a Veyron, is $$$. Just google all those rich doctors, lawyers, and hedge fund managers who buy those shiny brand new ferraris and lambos and fly upside down into a ditch just minutes after driving off the dealership lot.
