I was running late getting to my office yesterday (as usual), but when I get in my car, I realize I am running right on time. Nice!!! Nope.... I check my watch and my car's clock is about 7-8 minutes slow. I set the car's clock to the right time. This morning .... same thing. My clock is about 7-8 minutes behind again. Has anyone else had this problem?

Alright, been keeping an eye on my clock all week. No difference between my cell phone clock and my e60 clock. No minutes lost here....

Update:
I have not yet taken my car in to have the clock looked at simply because I have not had time and I try to avoid going in for service / problems as much as I possibly can. However, my car is now losing about 5 minutes everyday, so I had to make the call. It is driving me nutz now!!!
Appointment is scheduled for a week from tomorrow.
