BMW i3s OEM horn upgrade

EINSER M · 12-20-2018, 02:25 PM

Got rammed in at parking lot by ditsy old lady that didn't hear my ridiculous OEM puny horn so i decided for the safety of my child and my occupants i needed to upgrade the horns on the car.

Watched a few youtube and ordered the hella supertones for the project. Fitment is great reusing the OEM connector and OEM bracket. A 1 inch machine screw and 7 washers later, this worked out perfect with the precious help and supervision for my old friend RWolf10 who came and made me the amazing looking bullet nose wiring.

Voilà, 118db loud bi-horns that is sure to get people to pay attention!!!!

can't attach pics now , will try later

and the youtubes I used for reference

you definitely have plenty of access via the frunk, no need to jack the car and access via fender....remove the frunk box (6 torq screws) and set aside the coolant tank (1 torq screw) and there is your OEM horn.

I was absolutely astounded at how puny and weak the OEM i3 horn is. Did they get even more silly for the 2018 MY because I don't remember my '15 sounding so impotent.
