My bmw's horn sometimes go off on its own for a split second while driving. This is very embarassing because people may think I'm honking at them. To make the matter worst I came home last night and the horn went off and couldn't stop until I stopped the engine. Each time I would turn the key without starting it would go off again. Then I started the car and it stopped. Very annoying b/c a neighbor came to ask me to stop honking... Any idea what it could be?

Horn contacts behind the air bag sometimes go haywire. You should like the attention! or find a BMW club member that can tell you from there experience how to remove the air bag and fix the horn contacts. Or take it to the BMW dealer and find out BMW stands for Burn My Wallet. Just kidding! Biff and Muffy Wagon?

That happened to me in my boyfriends car. Change or something fell down behind the steering column and was pressing against the element that makes the horn blare. It was very annoying. . . Not sure how to fix it though.

Oil differences on a BMW is a elementary and chuffed journey (in an exceedingly, VERY unhappy way) *ok, Open oil cap on the right of the engine. (if air can get it to the engine someplace, you received't Create a vacuum that can help get extra oil out) *Get lower than the automobile and remove the 'sump plug' .....i imagine that's a length 15 socket. *even as the oil is draining, bypass again to the engine bay and use a 32mm socket to remove the oil clear out cap. once you remove this, you'll favor to pull the clear out off the cap itself. *in case you truly favor to be choosy, take in the dirty oil in the clear out cap to assist shrink the quantity of previous oil in the equipment. *positioned the recent clear out in and tighten, 25Nm to be precise, in case you do not have a torx wrench, in simple terms use the F.T placing (ft - workshop words for Fu*king Tight) *replace the sump plug and ensure it has the copper washer ( that's a weigh down washer which stops you from over tightening) that's particularly a lot it!! Oh, do not ignore to fill it again up with oil (the oil you suggested is remarkable) Your automobile is both.5, 6 cylinder engine, you'll favor 7 Liters of oil and be particular you do not over fill, BMW's use a intense rigidity oil pumps and could reason you automobile to commence smoking.

You have a short somewhere in the horn wiring and as it shorts out, it blows the horn,take it to a service dealer and let them find it......
