The way to solve "understeer" on the MZ4 Coupe is the same as the way to solve understeer on the E46 M3. With more grip up front.
By the way, neither chassis is considered "neutral" straight from the factory. As for the MZ4 Coupe understeering more than the E46 M3, it's a sheer function of the shorter and stiffer chassis. It responds to the extremes of inputs quicker. So if you're used to mashing the binder half way past your braking zone (like how typical journalists drive) and asking the car to turn at the same time? Just like how it oversteers quicker than an E46 M3, it goes past 10 much quicker than the E46 M3 thus overwhelming the front end quicker.
Drive it right, and the MZ4 Coupe is FAR more rewarding to the driver than ANY BMW chassis that came before and after it, IMO. This car absolutely shines in the right hands.
But if I were in your shoes? E46 M3, no question. You can get an '06 E46 M3 with reasonable miles for about $10,000 less than what you'll have to pay for the average '06 MZ4 Coupe. That $10,000 means a set of R-Comps, a set of light weight wheels, and a set of JRZ or MCS coil-overs set-up to your hearts content.
Better bang for the bucks, IMO.
