You never quite get it right and it comes out as aggressive." Right. The 'toot' is separate from the main horn and is supposedly a kinder, quieter option, although the video does not demonstrate it being used.

    powerful BMW petrol and diesel engines have been calibrated specifically for…off-road and on-road power and control, delivering high torque at low revs.

    Tbh I think the system makes sense
