Clock Problem F31 335d

[JimboM3]

Calling the Pistonheads hive mind,

Picked up a new to me 335d F31 (20 months old, 18k miles) and on the way home noticed a small yet annoying issue. I set the clock upon leaving then noticed that the clock time on the dash does not change (i.e. the clock has stopped). This also affects the Sat Nav ETA time and anything that uses the system clock.

Google searches suggest it may be a known software problem (also slow and fast clocks) or possible battery related (although there are no other issues so doubt it is the battery).

It's under warranty so will obviously be going to a dealer for advice but has anyone come across a similar issue and what was the fix?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Jim

I am not sure it will bring a lot of help but my wife has a 120d and she has been having the same issues. It is a company car and has been twice for check on this and they never managed to set it to the right time.

I would say it is a known software issue.

Cheers for the info. It's now booked in for a Warranty check. Will update if I get a solution.

Has it been mapped ? If so the clock may be fine - it is quite normal in a mapped 335d to arrive before you have left .
