E60 for Singaporeans
#322
Any one has problem pressing the horn on the steering wheel of the E60? I find the position of the horn too far away from the edge of the steering wheel and to press the horn, I have to lift by hand away from the wheel. Also, my horn is very stiff and I had to press it down real hard. There were times I tried to horn cars which were driving very close to mine but no sound came out. Does nayone know whether the amount of pressure needed to activate the horn can be adjusted?
I am thinking of fixing my own bull horn on the driver side mirror and use that to horn other cars when required.

My modified E60 has the following DIY manual options:
1. A string tied to the boot lid to open the boot from within the car
2. A bull horn fixed on the driver side mirror to replace the lousy horn on the steering wheel
I will include more modifications as I go along.

i always wished there was a horn which sounds like a car crash, that would scare the hell out of those kayu drivers

errrmm.....ok let's see, literally it means "afraid to loose"
In the Singapore context, it could mean a whole lot of things, all of them somewhat related to being afraid to loose.

Jonboy, "kiasu" is a Singapore copyrighted word which refers to a unique mentality among many Singaporeans who are very competitive and always wanting to be first in everything and not wanting to lose out to any one. One manifestation of being "kiasu" is at a buffet where you would see many "kiasu" Singaporeans piling up their plates with lots and lots of food more than they can consume for fear of the food being "grabbed" by other "kiasu" Singaporeans. "Kiasu" E60 owners in Singapore would inspect their cars every possible moment for nicks and scratches and watch their cars every other day to make sure it is more shiny than other cars on the road.
