I doubt this is normal?but who knows?maybe the car is trying to tell me something and I just don?t get it?I don?t think that?s the case?I?ve had 3 of these cars over the past 14 months and this is the first time it happened?
In a parking space?turn on the car and shift from park to reverse?I keep my foot on the brake and after about 2 seconds
HONK,HONK, HONK,HONK, HONK, HONK,HONK,
About 7 blasts from the cars horn in rapid succession?.repeat the aforementioned steps and it does it again?I called the dealer and my SA has no idea but will speak with the head service tech tomorrow and call me back?has anyone else experienced this before?any thoughts on what this might be

That's abnormal!
Never heard of anything like that before.

I can't believe all of the crap that goes wrong with this car. BMW has turned into Microsoft, using its customer base to debug new products.
