I own both a 335 and an M3. The OP is correct - the M3 does make more "sounds" than the 335, which is by comparison, ridiculously "normal".

Regarding the squeeking the OP is referring to, I think those are the brakes, which are different on the M3. The M3 has higher performance brakes which are meant to work at high speeds, thus they squeek when you are driving slow and stop at say, at a ticket booth, because the brakes are not warm (they are made to withstand higher heat than 335 brakes). These brakes often make sounds when turning slow or stopping at low speeds or when cold. This is "normal" for m3s - as all the M3s I've seen to date all do this. I wouldn't freak out about this - the components of the cars are different.
