2006 Porsche Boxster
Working in IT I have been helping customer apply a number of Daylight savings patches for this coming weekend. I have a 07 530 that was built in May of last year. I am sure my software does not have the update.
How will it affect my car?

You need to adjust the clock in the i-drive.

Correct. As advanced as this car is, it does not automatically adjust for daylight savings time. Because there is no auto adjust, there is no software patch or anything to correct, unlike a desktop PC which has the old April/October switch programed in...
You gotta wonder how long it's gonna be before the boys in Munich work timezone functionality into the iDrive package ...

I still don't understand why BMW doesn't do this (at least with nav cars...)

The smarter approach to this issue is to do what many other car manufacturers do -- get the time from the GPS satellites.
