The horn on my E32 doesn't work with the ignition off either, but it dose have a factory panic alarm which is activated in the same way as the E53's.

Hmm, does your vehicle have an alarm? Easy test, roll down one of your windows....lock the car with the remote. Give it a minute now reach in the car and unlock the door by hand. The alarm should go off. If it doesn't, I don't think you have an alarm.

press and hold the trunk button. The trunk may open but keep waiting. If you have an alarm, a siren will sound, the interior lights will go on, the hazards will flash,and the highbeams will flash.
