How do you change the time on a BMW 3 Series E46 version car?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Onboard computer

In this video we see how to change the time on a BMW 3 Series E46 version, even though the system is valid for all BMW cars of this same period. We use the "BC" button located on the outside of the lever on the left side of the steering wheel: we will press it until the desired time appears on the display. Once we have displayed the time, we position ourselves on the hour and change the value using the button/wheel located under the tachometer, on the right side of the dial. Once the time has been changed, we press the button to move to the minutes; we adjust them and then confirm again by pressing the button. Operation completed.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
