[QUOTE="Van1ty, post: 14389, member: 9184"] Most members on this board would agree that proper warm up practices prolong the life of the engine and increase performance. The manual states to follow the warning lights on the cluster but I dont trust those. This is what I do:[URL="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23633"]IF ENGINE IS NOT BROKEN IN DONT EXCEEDE 5500RPM[/URL]1.To warm up the car start off and drive away.
