Car acting funny...

F80.Ferg · 10-26-2011, 08:59 AM

whats up everyone so i recently pulled the trigger and 08 e90 M3, i love it still getting used to driving manual though. anyway i have a strange issue that i have tried to search up and found nothing. this has happen to me a few times already. when i start up the car it takes a few seconds for the navi screen to start up (longer then usual) also iv set my clock a few min ahead (just because i like to be early) and once i get out of work and start up my car the clock changes and is 3 min behind the real time, and then i set the brightness on the display all the way up and again once i start my car it goes to its default settings? anyone have any input on this? i will be taking my car to the stealership next week. maybe a software update? maybe i need a new ccc?

hmmmm mine is perfect no issue with my 08 at all and i have roughly 50k.

with the clock thinigy not sure if your car is sync with your phone maybe that might be the issue it syncs with your phone clock.

the navi sounds normal... shit is really long to boot up.. LOL

in regards to display... it changes in daytime and nighttime so not sure about that... plus why do you set the brightness so high... its bright enough on default. haha i dont know its just me

I had a 08 335 with the same navigation your car has. I am not sure about the boot up but I know there is a setting on the clock menu that syncs your time trough the satellite. That could be why your car keeps going back to the normal time after start up. Brightness I agree it's bright as it is lol just my opinion.

Could be your battery. If it has not been changed yet it'a almost 4 years old now. When the battery is not getting charged long enough or getting old and not hold a charge, these electronic gremlins start showing up. Losing settings and having to reset the clock are classic symptoms....
