I have found that the B58 in the M240i is the fastest warming up engine in any car I have ever owned, based on the oil and water temperature read outs in the hidden OBC menus. Starting at an ambient temperature of 10°C, it only takes about 1.5km / 2 mins for the oil to reach 50°C, compared with about twice that in our Golf R or other cars I have previously owned. 100°C oil temp takes less than 6km / 10 mins of gentle driving. The water temperature also tracks only 5°C or so ahead of the oil temperature during warm up, a very tight difference compared with other cars I've had.
