Electrical Issues

Recently I have had a couple issues crop up on my 08 M3.
The clock started losing about a minute every 2 days and the information screen between the speedo and tach resets itself to not displaying anything after the ignition is turned off.
Could this be caused by a weak battery? There is no other indication the battery is weak (starts right up).
Has anyone else experienced this problem and know the fix?

Tons of threads on this. Try charging the battery first. If you still have the issue then it's time to replace the battery.
