    The horn commands no respect!

    I am so embarrassed by the sound of the horn on my 2008 M5. It sounds like it came off a very very small car. It sounds worse than the Roadrunner's beep beep. There is no way I can get any respect with that horn so has anyone changed their horn? What did you replace it with? Thank you

    Holy Floormats Batman!

    I've got the winter mats and the grommet with the metal post doesn't work. The little metal post keeps coming out and the carpet constantly slides under the clutch. Very bad engineering.
