Horn Mounting....

Hello all,

 

I'm slowly trying to get a 2002 back on the road.  The PO had started to strip the car in plans to restore it and than lost interest...hence I stepped in.   This weeks project is to put in the horns.  But since they were missing I'm having a problem figuring out where they mount.  The one on the drivers side seems obvious but I'm not sure about the passage side.  I haven't found a good pic.  Can someone post a pic of how their horns are mounted?

Bill,

Please don't take this the wrong way, and I am not generally a man of excess, but when I see your car, I have an urge to lick it! It is cleaner, shinier, and more appetizing than any creamsicle! Don't let me near it!

And, yes, it's beautiful.

Regards,

Steve

I can't remember what year, but earlier roundie cars (maybe before Model-71) did only have the left side horn bracket. The one in front of the battery. When I mount two horns on these earlier '02s I mount both on the one bracket. Be sure that the open mouth of the horn points downward so that it doesn't collect water.

Please always refer to left and right side of the car as viewed from the driver seat. Thus, the intake is on the left side and exhaust on the right, even if the picture is from the front of the car. The left headlight is the (left hand drive) drivers side, always. This is how professionals view cars, and it makes things easier if there's a simple rule like this.

The early 1600s came with only one horn, the 2002s with two. One of the perks for that extra $400 you paid for a 2002 vs a 1600.  My Feb 69 production car came with a pair of "seashell" horns (curled up trumpet), one on each side.  Later 2002s had flat horns, like those used on Mercedes and VW Beetles.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
