But why read the "official" source when you can get random opinions and anecdotal advice from random strangers on the Internet who apparently don't know any more than you do?

It's my first bmw as wanted to make sure from all the rod failure due to oil not lubricating when startup and go. Better to be safe than sorry. I don't need To Break My Wallet if possible.

I go out to the garage, get in to start it, get out and sit on the steps and put my shoes on since the shoe rack is by the door in the garage (asian thing:roll eyes

So I've been doing this wrong all along? I always let cars warm up, when I need to go right away I let it do it's terrible belching (Cold start/ MPE) for a second and keep the RPMs low until it warms up, no boost, it's a horrible sounding car but I love everything else about it

Incorrect, due to the Inverse Law of Utility and Lethality not waiting exactly 12.375 seconds will result in the engine imploding. Page 393 of the owner's manual.

And even for the prior gen cars, it was still best to start and drive off immediately (keeping revs and throttle inputs benign of course) rather than simply letting it idle. |

I drive without waiting at all. The car will warm itself up, just don't voice off the rev limiter until it's warm.

My M4 takes forever to get to temp per the gauge, usually 10-15 minutes. The yellow rpm box starts at 6500 and moves to 7000 in about five minutes. Which one means car is ready to run full speed ahead??

I wait until the wastegates close and the exhaust quiets down - roughly 2 minutes or so.

Two minutes? Mine, with the MPE, takes maybe 30 seconds, and I've timed it. It's just that it seems like minutes. To my neighbors it must seem like eternity...

My neighbors across the street have a 330i, an X3, and the daughter has a Mini. We have the M4 with MPE, an M3 Competition Pack, and a Z4 M Roadster with a Stromung exhaust. We were discussing how loud my exhaust was one day (he's never complained) and I asked him if any of the other neighbors have said anything. (we're on a short cul-de-sac with only 10 homes, so most of us are pretty tight.)
He said that someone, who he declined to name, said to him "I can't believe they spent $100,000 on those cars and they sound like that!" I corrected him and said that we didn't pay anywhere near "$100,000" for either car. My wife's M3 is Individual San Marino Blue with Individual Polar Blue contrasting stitching. I also learned that there are other neighbors, down the block and around the corner, on the intersection street, that know all about our "loud" BMWs.
