Agreed, that was not a good thread to reference. I was just looking for others with the 80a bushings complaining about the noise and this thread is almost exactly the same as me:

But I took my car out yesterday around town driving with window 1/3 open. Didn't seem to notice all the noises I heard the day before with windows up, radio off and going speeds 40-60mph and listening intently.
Just to be clear, definitely do not regret, just as the OP in the M3 thread, just a bit more noise than I expected. Windows open or radio on, it's not very noticeable.
It's a tradeoff, go with a quieter (or even new OEM) bushings and it won't stabilize the shift arm, taking away some of the crisp, precision of the shifts.
