Hi...

Can anyone tell me how to change the clock time on an e46 323 ci?

I'm still running on last weeks time, and it is becoming increasingly irritating!...I dont have an owners manual, and my random fiddling hasnt shown me the way to change the time....plz help!

Using the OBC button on your indicator stalk, scroll through until your dash displays the clocl. On your instrument cluster you have two little knobs. Twist the one on the right clockwise and the clock will go forward, twist anti-clockwise, and it'll go backwards.

That's it! And if you push the knob you'll go into military time. Also, if you push the obc button until you get the temp and push the right instrument cluster button you'll change the temp from F to C.

Or, you could just read the manual

Having a manual would be perfect and reading it even better. Anyway ended up purchasing one of those Hayes Workshop Manuals. Great book and not to hard on the pocket either
