Horn Sound
Does anyone else think that the horn sounds a bit crap on the F10?
All my previous BM's have had the same good meaty dual-tone horn - wheras the F10 seems to be a bit pathetic by comparison. Maybe there is something wrong with it

Perhaps it's better sound insulation. It is dual-tone and I'd be amazed if the sounder was a different part number from any other in the range.

Yes I hate my F10 horn - no matter how lightly you tap the button you get a loud uncivilised blare. My 330 and previous BMs were fine. The last car I had with such an vulgar horn was a Vectra. What have they done with it?

Yep I agree totally. I hate blowing my horn too
 Here is a clip from the X5 and then the 5. I think I am going to have to change it!! Dropbox link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6104659/F10-bad-horn.m4v

Yep mine's just like that and I'm sure they all are then. Must enquire with the dealer.
