That lady may be telling the truth or not, depends: M3 with M differential lock can and will make some noises on the road, all coming from rear axle. Also, the steering is a hydraulic assisted M servotronic unit which should be feeling heavier than your 135i, by how much stiffer I can't tell that. I really think that someone who has or previously had a E9X M3 should accompany you in this test to make sure if everything feels and sounds allright or not.
