The clock is the same for cars with and without iDrive. The clock doesn't uses GPS time.

+1 BMW does not sync time with satellites, which it should as a luxury brand

One of my major pet peeves is things not being smart enough to figure out what time it is. If you have BMW Assist, you have not one, but two sources of reference time: the GPS receiver and the cellular modem. Any GPS receiver or CDMA modem supports trivial time query; the fact that I still have to set the clock in my car is undefensible.
