How to set the clock of a BMW 3 Series E46

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Clock

In this video we can see how to set the clock, both on the radio and on the dashboard, of a BMW 3 Series E46 version: as for the dashboard, we will act with the button that controls the partial trips and that is located on the right of the tachometer. We simply turn it clockwise to add minutes, and counterclockwise to subtract them. If we hold the button pressed to one side, we speed up the minutes passing, and in this way we will make a faster adjustment. When we approach the time we want to reach, we slow down so that one minute at a time will click. This will also update the time on the radio.
