I'd like to change the factory horns to something more european like a fiamm or piaa
sounding horn...where are the horns on the 530i and is it a straight forward swap?

I'd like them to be more high pitched instead of sounding like a Buick !

I've found my horn, in the wheel well on the front right of my car. right behind the fog light. My car is right hand drive. I would thhink that it'll be at a similar place with your car. If you change the horn, its best if you install a Relay, which is a pretty tough job considering you have to run cables from your battery. But I haven't checked the E60 horns properly, just saw it there, it might be as easy as a swap, depending on what horn you get.
