Automatic time

Hi,

If you drive across time zones, does the time automatically adjust?
This is what my settings look like. The only way I can get it to update it to uncheck the automatic time setting and change the time zone.

On my 2019 540xi I also find that the automatic time change setting does not really seem to work. Maybe it requires some time in the new zone before it changes, I don't know. If I want to change it I do so manually, like I have to do for daylight savings time (which we should eliminate). But on long trips, I also sometimes just leave it on my local time. I know what the differential is, and when I start heading home I don't have to change it. --Bob

Mine works the same. Will automatically set/keep time. But will not automatically update time zone when travelling. I tried hands-off for a couple of hours past the time zone change, but no auto update. Like you, I need to uncheck and re-check the box
