My Ride: 06 530Xi
Okay so I had cleaned out my car about 2 weeks ago and for some reason (dont ask) I take out my owners manual from the glove box and put it with the rest of the junk I had in my car. I'm away in Vermont and til Monday and when I just turned on my car it said I needed to set the time and date and to refer to the owner's manual. Can anyone help me do this being that I dont have my owners manual????? Thanks in advance!

Push down on idrive button, go to date/time on the screen. Take it from there.

Use the IDrive Menu Settings by pushing the controller straight down. There is an on-line owners manual in the Information page of the forum for the detailed instructions.

I tried doing that but it said to refer to the Owners manual for instructions. On the main screen I pressed the I-Drive button down and went to the proper opion. Then I highlighted the SET TIME AND DATE option but it didnt allow to set it.
