Let's see how to change the time on a BMW 3 Series E46 version: with the instrument panel on, press the button labeled "BC" located at the end of the lever on the left side of the steering wheel, until you reach the clock on the display at the base of the speedometer and tachometer.

Then, use the button/wheel located on the right of the tachometer.

If we turn it and hold it down, we will see that the time advances more quickly, allowing us to reach the desired time faster. Of course, we can then adjust it slowly by turning it more gently.

The adjustment made in this way will also appear on the radio.
