Bmw clock - noisy tick?

Post by missfixit70 » Mon Jan 14, 2008 6:36 pm

Fitted my bmw clock (having taken out the plastic red light shade & sticking a green filter over the bulb so it matches the rest of the dash illumination 8) ) but am now slightly concerned that it may keep me awake when I am sleeping in the bongo due to the audible tick as it clicks over every minute. Has anyone found this to be a problem? Spotted this thread from last year for a mazda 626 digital clock, may have to keep my eye out for one, but I do like the look of the bmw one :roll: :?

Yep, same here!

When I first got the van I thought it was the split charge relay ar glowplug relay until I realised. I have got used to it now though.

Mine's the same, but I love it. Reminds me all's well with the world (and my clock!) 8)

If you'd rather have a nice quiet digital clock fitted up by the rear view mirror, then I've got another few ready to go. See below for more details:

Send me a PM & I'll send you further details.

Really looks like it was meant to be part of the original fixtures too 8) .

I noticed the clicking at first...then, quickly got used to it... :wink:

My clock glows a nice neon blue, thanks to Haydn Callow... :wink:

Can't remember when I last heard the tick? might be because of the loud music playing on the stereo. :roll: Also we never sleep in her, so theres never a quiet moment.

The electronic clock is £40 plus post and he seems to have gone to bit of bother to supply everything needed to fit it

The price of £40 includes postage & packing, as well as detailed instructions & all the necessary wiring. I'll be at a few of the meetings inc Southern Softies, so will be able to knock off a bit for the postage as well as assist with installation if required.
