The temperature gauge displays oil temp. not coolant, so the time to a stable operating temp. display takes much longer. The coolant actually warms up pretty quickly on the 35i. (It can be monitored digitally through the OBD-II port).

The general consensus is to avoid full throttle acceleration or revs over 4000 until the oil is up to at least 160 Deg. F (71 C.)
