Accuracy of the iDrive clock

Here in the UK our clocks went forward an hour at the beginning of April.

All updated ok in the car, and noticed the time is now very accurate down to the second.
I am sure in the past it occasionally used to be a couple of minutes slow and I had to adjust manually.
Now it's spot on. Anyone else noticed this ?

In the US, it's spot on. I use the Naval Observatory Master Clock (*1-202-762-1401‬) as my go to time check. My Apple watch sync's up perfectly and then adjust/set all the clocks from that twice a year. Our X3 is accurate down to the second. They may have switched what NTP server they use for time update in the UK.

Time, is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.

I heard time was relative. And lunch time travels at three times the speed of work time.

Ah that is why when we went to pub lunchtime it was time to go back to work after one pint.
