Horrible IMO. When it's single-digits like this it takes 20 minutes before the oil temp needle even gets off the 160 mark, and some days it never gets above 160 at all.

My 535i is the slowest warming petrol engine I've ever had, but watching the ECT, it is slow to get to temperature on cold days. Can't have efficiency and cabin heat, unless like the diesels, we have the electric element in the system.
How quickly does your engine get to temperature?
