hey there. horn seems to be missing. I replaced the wires, as old ones definitely looked snapped, but that did not help. The main problem is that I can not find where horn wire should be plugged on. it's on 335xi lci.

Hopefully this should help. Photo below of where it goes, plus link with full photo DIY on removing and reinstalling an E9X wheel. Should do if for you, I would imagine.

i saw those pictures already, but I still can't find anything to connect it to. it seems that it is just left to lay in there, and if leave it like that, it doesn't work for me.

Are you referring to the grounding wire that I have circled in PHOTO 2? If yes, then it attaches to a screw noted in PHOTO 1. Your wheel seems slightly different and I don't see that grounding screw in your photo. I would believe, that even if you don't have that, you can attach it to anything that is grounded. This might be your problem, as if the horn isn't grounded then it isn't going to work.

Ground wire is indeed attached in my case as well. I am talking about a longer half brown/red wire which in your example photo is connected to something on the very right of that picture. In my case, there is nothing to connect it to there.

If yes - that is also a grounding wire, I believe. In my photo, it just slides over a small metal tab protruding from the metal center plate of the steering wheel. In your photo, it appears to be missing. If that is the case, I would imagine that you can attach it to any piece of protruding metal on that plate you can find. Your metal plate looks odd - it might be due to your location as compared to mine, but who knows. If unable to find anything to secure it too, you could always solder it to the plate as a last resort. I would think that might work, although I would try to find a better solution first.

I have one extra metal plate which looks like yours, and I will see if I can manage to attach it down there. Thank you very much! Didn't know it's a ground wire as well, and was blindly looking for some socket to insert it into...

Cool, man. Hope this helps also - see below. Pic one is it attached and pic two shows what the tab looks like with it removed.
