For a 2015 X3 28d what has been the experience of others for a low cold soaked temperature start and operating?

I live on the west coast where minimum temperatures are about -5c/23F..

Planning a trip where overnight lows may be much lower and wondering at what point I should seek heated underground parking.

Thank you.

This cars start at -20c with no issues. Plenty of videos on YouTube just search Bmw diesel cold start. So I think you should be alright

My X3' 28d has not given me any trouble with starting in winter since last 4 years in Toronto.

I would maybe think about using some winter fuel additive, making sure I had a full tank.

If you've got a good battery, you should be just fine.

I've owned a number of diesel cars over the last 40 years; five VWs, an Audi and two BMW 328d's, all in New England. I have never once had a problem getting any of them started in even below zero temps when many people were having trouble getting their gasoline-engined cars started.

I've done nothing special at all in the way of fuel additives, block heaters or anything else. Sometimes I had to glow the '77 and '79 Rabbits (remember those?) twice, but that's it.

MN here. Our two diesels stay in the garage most nights but no issues. We’ve left them at the airport for a week in sub zero temps and while they crank a bit slower no issues. I do run an additive.
