E46 M-Sport Cab Tramlining
Discussion
It could be that the wider rear tyres pick up different grooves, esp motorway from trucks, white lines etc my M coupe can feel like something has broken at times on some roads, my touring does it, and the motorbike is a classic case, all have wider rears.
Check your pressure and wheel balance, find a really good flat resurfaced road and give it a run and a brake test. If it wanders or veers get the geometry checked and brake calipers for seizing, if it doesn't blame the roads you're on and get used to it

The bushes might be a problem if it has only done 10k in 4 years, as they will have hardened and perished a bit from lack of use.
Having said that, it depends on what car your mate had before - lots of modern cars tramiline when fitted with wide low profile tyres, regardless of make or model.

The suspension bushes are worn - I'd bet my life on it. Mine was doing the same, replaced the bushes (which are a known week point) and it's been perfect ever since. Sounds bad, but it's not a massive job.
It's only done 10k, would they go so quick?Seems like a strange one this from what other people are saying, as since my bushes were done the car has been perfect. Maybe, as has been said, tyres have a lot to do with it.
