    When you set it correctly it then picks up about 5 minutes?

    Does it stop there or keep gaining time?

    Is yours an R50 / R53? My MINI had a fast clock when I bought it too. It was replaced under warranty. The whole speedo was replaced, because the clock is built into it.

    I'm thinking he bought one like this....

    He probably got the "S" version, it's built to run a little faster....:D

    I have this issue and I just just reset my clock once a month.

    No big deal.

    Whoops...wrong clock.

    I have one of those too. It's an hour slow right now. Can't seem to figure out why. :D

    Doesn't the German government require that they set them up 5 minutess fast so no one's clock will be reading slow?



    Just like our speedometers? :D

    I figured it out all the other clocks are just Slow pokes.

    Years ago I had a supervisor tell me he slapped his mickey twice before he got up. It me a minute or two to figure out he was talking about his mickey mouse alarm clock.
