No kidding lol. My clown horn has already saved me from 2 idiots driving into my car in only 2k miles. Close calls while I was completely still. Sometimes people need to be reminded that they're driving a car and need to look out the windshield occasionally.

Well, they need to look out of whatever window faces the direction they're currently driving.
A couple months ago I had a close call in a parking lot. I started it up and saw a car coming so I waited to back up, after the car passed I put it in reverse and started backing up out of my spot. As I was backing up, I saw the car that had just passed stop, throw it in reverse, and start flying backwards toward me. I threw the car back in drive and jumped back into my parking spot just in time for the car to fly past my rear bumper in reverse, clearly not looking behind them at all while they drove 100+ feet in reverse through the parking lot. People are stupid.

Sheesh, close call and good reaction time.
Mine were people lazy-cutting their left turns while I'm at the stop sign of that street... Nearly hit me head on

Did you need / used all the other parts on the invoice besides the horn to do the horn replacement?

There's a way to replace the horn without pulling the bumper and looks pretty simple. The video isn't in English, but it's pretty easy to follow along.

thanks, yea ive seen one that was in english somewhere, I just take forever to install certain things sometimes. I have cf badges, headlight ppf, spark plugs, and reflector covers i've procrastinated on too. I just installed my powertex battery that's been sitting because I had issues with the starter and swapped that out first. mix of laziness and garage being renovated

Love the ending.. using junk scissors jack while you're sticking your head in the wheel well, and the comment "sounds like shit?" at the end.
Just take the bumper off and stop screwing around with half-arsed pansy commitments.
It's not difficult to do and it's a one person job. The lower freq horn needs to attach to the other side of the car anyway.Happy Polar Bear

Hi @Andrew4Supra, are you saying the mounting bracket is already there? All we need are the parts you listed and one washer + one bolt? Thanks!~ This was virtually a plug and play. The mounting hole is already in place near the existing horn.
If you order the bmw parts below… this makes things easy with the secondary horn plug harness and wires. You’ll have to splice into the original horn wiring with the new bmw wiring. Add shrink wrap to the 2 connection wires and you’re finished with the install. Quite easy as a diy. With the removal of the bumper, horn install and reinstall of the bumper… it took about 1.5 hours.
If you need more detailed pics please feel free to pm me.

The other day I had to slam on my brakes from someone swerving in front of me from two lanes over. At the same time I heard what sounded like squealing from a stuck pig. Turns out it was just my car horn.
My anger from almost having to deal with a collision from this idiot evaporated from the comical *meep meep* sounds my car was making. So aside from the embarrassing miss piggy squeaks, I wonder if the supra horn is just as effective as the z4.
I also wonder if the bmw development engineers planned on giving Toyota this horn from the start or if it was when they saw how vastly superior the supra design is. Probably from the same guys who designed that horrible front grille.
