All this technology in this car but...

URBAN LEGEND · 11-02-2009, 08:36 PM

All this technology in this car but I had to manually change the time in my car to reflect the daylight savings time change. I spent 30 seconds doing this. Unacceptable!!!!!!!!!!!!!

linsm3 · 11-02-2009, 08:37 PM

I don't change the time, I just wait till spring ahead

Tie the operation of the clock to the GPS satellites used by the navigation system.

Would it help if I said Audi does this?

my friend's 02 MB C32's clock was updated automatically.

It should be easy to do this, no idea why BMW doesn't bother.

foosh · 11-02-2009, 08:59 PM

Come to think of it, GM does it too, or they did in my 05 Corvette.

Periokid · 11-02-2009, 09:03 PM

My wife's Honda Odyssey updated itself.

Bluesummer · 11-02-2009, 09:05 PM

it's alright. I closely checked out Gallardo's and Aston's interior today, they dont even have auto dimming rear view mirrors

I can live with my a stupid clock in a bimmer if people can live without auto dim mirrors in their 20k+ cars.

foosh · 11-02-2009, 09:08 PM

OK, let's look on the bright side. There was a thread here today, where Jeremy Clarkson was quoted (paraphrasing) as saying that he would never buy a BMW, because they were too "scientific" and "all engineering." He said they don't make you smile, and essentially, they have no soul.

Obviously, Clarkson needs to be informed of this wonderful evidence that BMW has both "quirks" and a "soul."

There's such a thing as too much engineering? Jeremy Clarkson is a pompous d/b who should probably stick to driving a vintage Bugeye Sprite or MG - if he can keep one of them running for more than two days in a row...

bmw likes to keep it real

yalag · 11-02-2009, 11:27 PM

that's weird, I think my m3 updated itself because I don't even know how to update the time! Maybe it's just reading the time off my phone....I don't know

My M3 did update the clock correctly but I had to spend 5 seconds to update the clock on the X5.

I think you forgot, nobody will ever get close enough to make you rearview mirrors dim in those cars!! I know I wouldn't. If I rear end it I can't cover it

those SUVs with their HIDs certainly dont have to sit on those cars' bumpers to annoy the shit out of the people in their exotics tho

people who install 12000k HID on their SUVs are fucking assholes IMHO. I just wanna kill them everytime I got one on my tail when I'm in my camry with no tints and no dimming mirrors LOL
