Got into my car this morning on my way to work and noticed that the clock was not set. I also noticed that my mpg and the miles beside the odometer was also reset and the date was off by a day. I set everything up to the current time and date. When I went to lunch everything was fine. Got back into my car after lunch (about an hour later) and the clock, mpg and miles were reset again. This also affected the automatic parked operation for the AC (morning and lunch).
Brought it to the dealer but could not leave it as they didn't have a loaner car.
Has this happened to anybody else?

No problems on my LCI 535i like that. Could be a power draining/battery issue. You have anything plugged into the car? While it's in park?

Only thing plugged in is my ipod, but that shouldn't be pulling too much power from the battery.
NO you are right, that should turn off when the car goes into sleep mode...GL with it, keep us posted...

Mine didn't give an error message like that, but it had the little triangle warning symbol that went away when I set the time.

Before I reset the time, I went to the info center and loked at error reading and thats what it said. Odd. Hope this isnt a symptom of something greater.

Do you have comfort access? Being in close proximity to the car, like when cleaning, for a bit of time, with the key fob in your pocket can also cause the battery to drain...
