When driving, you may need to adjust the clock according to the time zone you are in. On a BMW 3 Series E46 model, this operation is quite simple. First, turn on the vehicle's instrument cluster.

Then, press and hold the left button on the instrument cluster for a few seconds. Press the button on the right side of the instrument cluster once and start adjusting the time.

Rotate the right knob and press to confirm. Once finished, you can turn off the instrument cluster and restart it to confirm the operation.

The adjusted time will also appear on the radio display.
