Ditto FlyingAce on this one, too. This has been a rather long debate/discussion over the decades...but all of my BMW owners manual going back to my 1985 e30 325e says the same thing...to drive right away on a cold engine instead of idling for long periods.

I idle long enough to get my seat belt on and then I'm off at a moderate driving style...paying attention to the engine and transmission. If it's really cold weather and the engine is revving high...I may give it a few seconds to settle down...but again that only takes usually less than 30 seconds.

From my f06 owners manual:
Correct but when you turn it on, the rpms sit at 1200 or so for about 10 seconds then drop correct?
