I can not believe that a car of this technological promise did not even adjust the clock itself. Man did we get shafted or what?

I'm still waiting for someone to post a question as to how to adjust the clock manually. Something tells me we're still going to see that question asked on Monday...

My Ride: E61 525iA Build 2004/08. "Safirschwartz Metallic". Navi Pro, Adaptive Headlights, Bi-Xenon, Panorama Sunroof etc... CIP 18.00.01 (No noticed bug)
This should be easy. I guess the GPS-satellites have a very accurat time. At least the RDS (where working) could do the job. Even Microsoft Windows will adjust time by itself...

My Ride: 535d Auto M Sport delivered 04/10/05, Carbon Black, Beige Ventilated Nasca Leather, Dark Poplar Wood, Media Pack - Sat Nav Pro, Bmw Assist, Bluetooth phone prep + telematics + snap in adapter for Nokia 6230i & 6 CD, Visibility Pack - bi-xenons, adaptive headlights and Headlight Wash, HUD, High Gloss Shadow Line, Extended Lights, HiFi System, Extended Voice, M Spoiler and Heated/ventilated f/seats. Chrome Grills. M Double Spoke 19" Mixed Wheels 172 with 245/35 front and 275/30 rear (Non-runflat continentals) Spare wheel and jack. Supaglass.
Should be INCREDIBLY easy ! My car switches it's lights, main beamand windscreen wipers on automatically - and even reroutes me on my journey due to bad traffic. But change the time by a standard amount twice a year ? Nah !
I've actually set my car to sound the hour signal. I set this when I got the car and within a week it was about 5 seconds out. I would have assumed that the whole clock thing would be incorporated into setting itself automatically - although apparently even the BBC forgot to change their clock on their teletxt service. Whoops !!
