I track with may E92 M3 and they all suffer from severe under steer ... GT3 really kill them through turns. Here is a video of a very wet track at Thunderhill and the E92 M3's under steer did not help through fast turns ... it really has to slow down and tip toe through T11-T15
Having tracked with a few GT3s, I feel it's the driver, not the car. Expert GT3 drivers have left me in the dust, but novice GT3 drivers slow me down and I have to pass them, and intermediate GT3 drivers I play cat and mouse with. On the straight, the GT3 has a bit more get up and go, at least at altitude, but I get the sense the E92 M3 actually makes up for it in balance and handling through the turns, especially rapid esses.

Of course, you will have first-hand experience if you get the M3. I think if you make sure you give yourself time to get accustomed to the car, have the right tires, brake pads, etc., you'll enjoy the car very much!
