Good idea. Was it plug and play, or were other modifications required?

Yes, totally plug & play. Remove the grill, and switch them out. Same brackets, and same plug in electrical connectors. Here is the link:

I noticed that my ML has 2 types of horns, one for the "regular" horn which sounds a bit better than the panic alarm horn - sounds like a goat being strangled -"mmeep, mmeep:.. Which one did you replace?

The two regular horns, behind the grill, and in front of the radiator.

Yes, but in a BMW you can always pull the stalk forward to flash someone if needed at anytime. You probably dont want to have your lights on without the engine running
