I'm not trying to start a big debate though, I know there are plenty on here and if you like your 275 square that's all that matters.
A square setup on a E9x M3 is a very neutral setup unlike the stock staggered setup that understeers quite a bit on corner entry which causes you to make large corrections with the wheel & throttle to place the car properly.With 400+ hp you have to be careful to avoid large amounts of power oversteer on exit in the lower gears regardless of running a square or staggered setup.I think a square setup will be the quicker setup for somebody experienced and still an easy to drive setup for a novice to learn on.
