BMW's CC ID 167 code indicates the cabin's clock needs to be reset. This happens after the battery cables have become disconnected and the power is temporarily removed from the car's electrical components. The clock will be stopped and when cables are re-connected and power restored, the time will no-longer be accurate. You should see the digital display flashing in addition to the 167 error code, indicating the time and date needs to be inputted again. Use the BMW's control stalk or other appropriate buttons to reset the clock and clear the code. Turning the vehicle off and on should complete the process. Alternatively, sometimes this warning is thrown when the battery is operating on low charge. It will disable power to smaller electrical functions. Under these conditions, have the battery or the car's charging system checked and replaced if necessary.

The 167 code on the BMW simply means your time and date are resetting because your battery is trying to conserve power.
