Default Clock Set on BMW 330i?

A 'friend" has a 2001 BMW 330i. Time to reset the clock. Nothing in the manual because her clock is on the radio and the radio manual has disappeared. I have pushed every button on the radio along with the "clock" button to no avail. Was hoping someone might have a similar radio and know how to set the time. I am sure it is simple, which doesn't say much for me, cause I have not been able to figure it out.

First, push the turn signal stalk in to change the trip computer display so it displays the clock on top of the odometer if it doesn't already. Then you notice that there are two black stalks coming out of the instrument cluster - left one is for trip computer reset, and right one is for the clock. The "clock" button on the radio is only for changing displays, I believe.

This is just off the top of my head for my girlfriend's 2003 330i - if this doesn't work I will check the manual when I see her later on today.

Thanks, guys. This digital clock is on the radio face. There is a button with a picture of a clock and a music symbol on it. If I push the clock side, the time comes up, but can't figure out how to change the time. I will try your suggestions since I sure haven't accomplished much my way. Thanks again.

Yeah, i tried to change the clock on the radio that way too. The clock button only turns the radio display into digital clock. If you press and hold it, you will go to the BASS and TREBBLE settings. The only way to change the clock is by the instrument cluster.
