BMW need to rethink their policy of weight balance as in my mind at least it is not right.

Weight balance is not exactly the issue here. The 997 chassis is very benign and forgiving relative to the older models. Dive into a corner at the same speed in the wet in a 993 and you'd have spun off. Albeit, all 911 do have traction advantage over M3s powering out of corners in the wet.
