! Having the wrong time in your car is undoubtedly frustrating, but the good news is adjusting the clock is simple.
To set the clock on a BMW X3, you should:
  1. Put the ignition in the on position but do not start the engine.
  2. Locate the two buttons on the right-hand side of the odometer. These are used to set the clock.
  3. Press and hold the right button until the clock’s hour appears on the display. You’ll know you’re in time-setting mode when the colon to the right of the hour digit blinks.
  4. Set the hour by repeatedly pressing the left button until the correct hour is displayed.
  5. Press the right button to enter time-setting mode for the minutes.
  6. Set the minutes by repeatedly pressing the left button until the correct time is displayed.
  7. Save the clock setting and exit time-setting mode by pressing the right button.
Now that you’re done setting your clock, take an extra second to ensure you’re not overpaying for
