Mike,

If you add the x-brace to an M3 with a stock suspension you will have
a car with a quicker turn in response at high speeds.  No added
understeer.  You won't feel it on the street, but definitely will at
an auto-x course.  You might feel it on an on ramp.  A definitely
worthwile upgrade and it's relatively cheap, I got mine at the BMW
Store in Cin., $120 w/discount, delivered with all the fasteners. 
They're in the Roundel.

PS  If you change the shocks/springs at the same time you add the
x-brace you might not feel the diff.
