Hi

Only having my 320i a short time just began to notice it takes around 12/15 mins (say 8 miles) to get to operating temp.

Any idea if this is the norm.

Cheers

Remember it is the oil temperature. Coolant temperature will be running a few degrees ahead in normal use.

Similar driving time for my 535i, even worse in colder temperatures.

I'd say about the same for my 328i and second what Pete said.

No worries!

Again many thanks for the clarification SomeRandomer123 Love to try out the 328i.

My dirty old diesel takes ages. Never timed it but 10 minutes or so, but nine times out of ten that's getting on the motorway within 5 mins with another 5 mins to get to temp.

I noticed today I drove a couple of miles into town, sat waiting with engine idling to pick up the Mrs for nearly 10 mins, drove home, and whilst parking the needle was about a quarter of the way up. It was 10deg C outside.

Heaters were blowing warm, but as another poster says coolant / oil temps are adrift of each other.

Annoying if you're being good and not nailing it unless up to temperature!
