Video tutorial

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.
