Yeas, my Old good E46 330i SMG used to behave the same. Interestingly, I never noticed it in my 8AT 528xi F10 I had for 2 years only to swap for the M235i. But frankly, it's a silly way to accelerate engine warp-up; as cold engine should never be revved but operated at the lowest rpm possible; when loaded (slightly) immediate take-off after the cold start it will warp-up the fastest. This is why I never wait for the first automatic upshift when driving slowly rigt after cold start, but enforce the second gear manually. This is the best practice possible, imho.

No offense - but this is BS. See my previous comment in this post.
