Is there any way to turn the daylight savings time on in the 5er? Can't find any comments on this site or in the manual. Thanks in advance.

AFAIK it needs to be changed manually, no preset program setting to do it for you

Actually, you need to turn Daylight Savings Time off. Seriously, the only way I know is manual through i-drive.

I leave mine 1 hour ahead, that way I'm not late for things. And I end up with a extra hour every day.
