RealOEM or Pelican Parts? And clock.. - BMW Forum

Trigabby · 03-24-2006, 09:14 AM

Anyone ever order from RealOEM? I've gotten stuff from Pelican Parts, but they didn't seem to have all of the parts that RealOEM has.. (And I need some smaller stuff, bolts, clips, etc)

Also.. Since my previous owner was nice enough to lose the manual, does anyone know how to change the clock on the basic temp/clock computer? I have a 98 318...

Thanks!

Also just found out that currently RealOEM is just a reference site.. They don't have it set up to order yet, but still has great info!

BTW, my clock is the 7 button entry level...

Not sure if its the same for the 7 button or not but, you just hold down the "clock" button for a few seconds until the display lights up. Now, use the 1, 10, 100, 1000 buttons to set their corresponding numbers.

hope that helps you out

With the 7 button: push the HR/DAT button: use the h/DAT to set hour and am or pm, use the min/DAT to set the minutes: then press the SET button.

The last year for the 318TI was actually 1999. For the 318I was 1998.
