I don't know any fast street legal car that doesn't understeers first when the tires traction starts to drop off under mild acceleration in a steady cornering state.
Also, the M limited slip differential induces initial understeer.
What I find VERY hard to believe is a car with such a short wheel base that doesn't turn-in under hard trail braking - the car will rotate just fine and help the front end follow the path of the curve.

When you step on the gas pedal you can counteract the initial understeer reaction with power oversteer as long as you keep the engine in the right power band for a seamless transition from understeer to oversteer, which on the 1M would mean 5000-7000rpm.
Just look at what happens when there's not enough power available to break the rear tires traction in a Cayman:
