Cold Start - Warm Up
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I'm in NYC and the weather is just changing, I've been waiting at least 5 minutes to pull off unless I warm it up beforehand. |

On cold starts, right after the RPM's drop to about 800.
I go easy on the gas, up until my oil temps are up.

Any reason why you would warm up your car for 5 minutes, when it's below 50*?
It's absolutely unnecessary with modern motors. In your head, it may seem like neglect, but it'll drive fine and last a long time so long as you don't go buck wild before oil temps get to where it needs to be.

For instance, today was 41 degrees when started it this morning. I waited 5 minutes and then got going. It still took about a minute to settle at 800 RPM but that was being precautious. |

No cold starts here. I just let it warm up for 30 seconds or so and start driving.
No cats here so got the cold start deleted

No wait for me. It says in the manual that it's best to just start driving. I would not pound on it until the car get to temp though.

Yes sir. Everyone is used to me so I never get complaints even when I start up my race quad. As much as I like it, I would like my cold start deleted to respect my neighbors at 515am when I decide to drive that car to wk.
