Noticed today when I removed the key from the touring the blower didn't switch off, and you can turn it on and off as normal without the ignition!?

Any ideas?

Unless your wiring loom is going into terminal meltdown, then you need a new K7 relay. Your mirrors should also be working with the ignition off as well.
On all my E30s, I've done a little mod to the K7 wiring inside the fusebox, so that the fan / mirrors work on key position one. Usefull when I'm sat in the car in warm weather waiting for the missus / kids /etc, as I can keep cool with the fan without having the ignition on.
