Description of the problem	I bought a bmw x3 in 2005 and noticed that when the motor is off the horn does not sound. My husband bought a bmw 3 series in 2007, and my daughter/son in law bought an x1 two months ago. And i have asked friends who own bmw's and they say the same thing - when the motor is off, the horn does not sound. This is not necessarily a safety issue but it certainly can be. My brother drives a ford suv in the chicago area. Last month his car slipped off a very icy road and was covered by snow almost immediately! He was really stuck and told me that if he could not sound the horn when a police officer was passing, he would have really been in trouble (cell phone was at home - of course). And then there is my not too big problem -- waiting in the car for hubby to come out and can not sound the horn. Last week i was parked in a line waiting for a train to come when the truck in front of me began to back up. My motor was off (been waiting awhile) and i had to figure out where i had put the keys, get the motor engaged and then beep at the truck -- just inches from him hitting me!
