How to Set the Clock on a BMW 3 Series E46?

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

To set the clock on the BMW 3 Series E46, the instrument cluster must be powered on. The engine can remain off. This older model does not come with a modern radio, so adjustments cannot be made through a menu on a touchscreen display. This should not be a concern because adjusting the clock is even easier in this case: simply press and hold the button shown in the video, pushing it slightly to the right, and release it when the displayed time is correct.
