Same procedure for any BMW with the same OBC: use a pen and press the recessed button to the right of the display. Use the 1000, 100, 10, 1 buttons to set the time, and use the S/R button to change between 24hr time and standard am/pm.

Most functions in a car are like the monkeys writing Shakespeare - press the buttons in enough combinations and eventually you get what you want.
