That way you can truly feel the differences and the benefits that the M135i gives
This is good advice. At least request an extended test drive, so you can compare, back-to-back...so to speak You are best placed to make the comparison.

My previous car was an Audi 8P S3. I have M-Adaptive suspension on my M135i, and it has a much more compliant ride than the S3 in Comfort mode, and still handles pretty well. In Sports mode, it seems similar to my S3 -- there's the odd jarring moment -- but handles very nicely. It's these features that make the car such a pearler.
