I don't know what the official weight distribution spec on the M3 is, but a moment with Google brings me one claim of 48-52. I find that plausible. It's my understanding that a 50-50 weight distribution is a desirable and good thing - at the very least, it's certainly not a nose-heavy car.
I'm no expert, either, Michael. And certainly can't comment on the M3's driving habits on the track. But boy-oh-boy, I'd sure like to find out what those driving habits are!
