Hi All
As you may well know, 318i's only have a single tone horn, which I find quite embaressing!
Just wondering if I buy the second deeper tone horn, how do I wire it/mount it to the car?
Apparently it goes above the front fog lamps?
Any help much appreciated
Cheers
Sam

The double horn set up on an E30 uses a different main car body wiring loom and a different bodyshell, so I doubt if you'll be fitting them in an OE manner.
Easiest way is to stick both horns on the same stud behind the grill in a sort of inverted V arrangement, and just wire them in parallel.

Many thanks for your advice Brianmooooooooore

slightly off topic, but any advice to sort the "dying cow" horn on my newly aquired iS?

There's a stopped up hole with an adjuster in it on top of the horn, which may bring it back to life for a while, but I've never found it very successful as a long term fix.320Touring wrote:slightly off topic, but any advice to sort the "dying cow" horn on my newly aquired iS?

New OE horns from BMW aren't particularly expensive, IIRC.
