Actually, no it's not. It's common programming. A leap year only occurs
every 4 years. On devices w/out years, such as watches, or OBC's in your
case, it either goes 2 ways. It will go to 2/29 each year and you have to
bump it up a day, or it goes to 3/31 and you have to kick it back a day.
Just more lazy programmers. Try it againin 3 years, I bet I'll do the same.

<<Hi all- I'm fairly new to the list. I have an 86 325e.
Perhaps this has been discussed before, but today I noticed that the OBC
reads "03-01" for the date. Obviously a bit of a bug. I'm curious to
know if others have this minor problem as well (what year is your car?)
