Replacement Horn

The high tone horn has failed and the low tone is sounding a bit rough so I figured it would be time to replace them. I purchased a HELLA 3FH 012 010-041 from autodoc and set about attempting to fit it today **Note to future adventurers you can do this without removing your bumper and by instead gaining access via the fog light access flaps in the wheel arches.**

Unfortunately I was unable to complete the replacement as the connector on the new horn/trumpet was a bigger/newer style so everything had to go back together :(

This is the horn I ordered and doesn't fit (might fit newer BMWs with a different connector but doesn't fit mine? :( ) Does anyone have a link to a good replacement set that will just fit as close to OEM quality as possible? Please thanks :)

Also does anyone know where I could get the corner splash guard from that the temperature sensor mounts to. I have used an online breakers yard search site and can get a brand new one from BMW for £183 but the online quote tool wants £195 for a second hand used part something doesnt add up.
Busted up sensor mount/splash guard.

Pretty sure I have a good working pair of proper Z4 horns in the garage if you're interested?

Hi Matty I have sent you a PM

Horns arrived well packaged thnkyou! Will be fitting them tomorrow or Saturday will let you know how I get on.


New horns fitted and working great!! Thank you once again :)

Now just to find a replacement for the really expensive piece of plastic cover thing. And re -terminate my temperature sensor as the horn wire had been chafing on the wire and there is a smidge exposed now :( Just need to figure out what repair kit (pins and seals) I need to re-terminate the plug.
