Sounds like the ignition has become worn and will not automatically shut the car down. You may want to take the car to an auto mechanic to have them check the ignition cylinder and replace it for you if it bugs you. While sometimes convenient, this could be dangerous.

What does the security light on a 1994 Grand Prix mean?
The car is equiped with a security feature that will automaticall shut down the engine when activated. Your ignition key has a resitor chip on it, and when you insert the key into the ignition the computer measures the resistance to make sure it is the right key. If someone tries to start the car with a key that does not have the right resistance it will not start. If your key gets wet or if moisture builds uo inside the ignintion switch, it will slightly alter the resistance and the computer may not let the car start. If the resistance is close, the car will still run but the security light will remain on.

It's an emergency "wallet" key. Basically, BMW made it really small and lightweight, so if you lose your original keys (or lock them inside your car) you can still open it if you've stashed the "wallet" key in your purse or wallet. f.y.i. only use it in a EMERGENCY. i used it when i run marathons and it cracked in the igintion and i cound not start the car. BE CAREFULL
