How bout BMW put a fix where you can't drive the car until its at proper temp

BMW has really lost its way. Sales figures are the only metric they care about.

The auto-start for the A/C at ignition seems to slower the whole warming process. Another con of the new standard features. Have to turn it off to stop shaking.

yes, bmw is making money hand over fist on these watered down 2-series, blowing them out at the alarming rate of 600 per month...

1. hit the start button with your finger already on the trip reset button
2. hit it until you hit unlock...
3. add the last 5 numbers of your vin, thats the unlock code
4. it's under the 4th option labeled "temperature" i believe

That's the code for unlimited ammo in GTA V.

Old thread but:

You might be able to determine if it's at "operating" temp by attempting to check engine oil level. If the temp is below some threshold (i have no idea what it is) the button to start the checking process will be greyed out
