Yes and no, but in the case of E36/E46 and now the E82/E9x BMW's a stiffer front bar actually reduces understeer. How? By reducing roll induced postive camber changes. A larger front bar reduces body roll and keeps the outside front tire more upgright in a turn and when a tire is more upgright and not riding on its sidewall, you have more traction!
