I managed a stick mixer at 15% off once, but its the only thing and that was about 10 years ago now 😂

It’s a hard comparison at this stage as owned and drove the e46 m3 about 130,000 km / 11 years verse 2000 km so far on the f80. The e46 felt so connected to the driver and the road. Ergonomics are great and s54 is such a great sounding engine and a nice level of progressive power. However, the F80 is more modern and I do need a 4 door these days. Power wise my M3 was around the 180kw at the wheels mark verse somewhere between 310 -330. There is a massive difference and it’s easy to have the back brake traction off the throttle.The f80 is a very stiff car to the point where I do have trouble with wheelspin coming out of my driveway. Ive had time do a 3 point turn and reverse up a couple of times. What I do like is 3 settings for suspension, engine and steering weight and having two steering wheel buttons with saved settings, M1 commute, M2 … smile 😊 Still getting used to it and trying to stop those e46 things you do but looking forward to a track drivers day to explore my new limits. I didn’t keep the e46 as budget wise I’d made a refresh list that was similar to the cost difference of the F80 and I’m guilty of have a couple of other vehicles that just don’t get used ( or finished )

#metoo Done quite a few track laps in f80s. Sick fun. But on the street one 'braaaaap' and you could be locked up. Great looking cars, and practical 4 doors. But they aren't as 'cool' are they. e46 now classic status. (M2 is also a consideration).

Have been following your previous sound upgrade on the E46 and looking forward to see what you do here! I'm at two minds on trading up/down from an e46 M3 to an F80. Have test driven a few and love the power and refinement, however jumping back into the 46 always makes me doubt my decision. I seem to like the 'rawness' and sound of the 46. What are your initial thoughts/feedback/experience to date with the F80 vs 46?

What is your home audio setup? I know there are a million posts, but as one of the longest e46 owners here, what are your impressions of the 'upgrade'? Congrats! Good colour

as someone who works in price integrity at a Bunnings branch, head office are usually on the ball when it comes to this stuff! quite often the price changes are pushed through before we get our new labels/tpr's out on the shelves!

Yep, they lower to match... almost caught them out when Mitre 10 was doing a 20% off Philips Hue kit a few weeks back... by the time I'd reached the Bunnings Customer Service counter early on a Saturday morning, I want to say ~20 mins after checking online and before 10am, they'd updated their pricing and were exactly $1 lower... checkmate.
