Resolved.

Disconnected negative battery terminal for a minute or so.

After reconnecting switch on ignition only (when the battery had been disconnected during repair I assume the engine had been started. It's an automatic and they must have jumped in, foot on the brake and started the car).

Set the time through the idrive. Deselect then auto set option and set time manually.

Follow any other ignition prompts.

Start car.

Clock back to normal.

After the car is running the bmw auto time option can be selected.

Shocked the two bmw "geniuses" I spoke to in dealerships didn't know this but were happy for me to book in for a £100 diagnostic.
