BMWLOVER is on a distinguished road
I'm in Edmonton and have had the x5 for about 2 winters. Although it's garaged when I do a cold start I let the rpm fall which takes about 30-60 seconds. Then drive off driving very slowly and not letting the rpm go past 3000-3500 rpm. After the temp gauge is at half way point I drive like normal. I do this if I start after it's been in garage or outside. This was discussed a while back as well and most people agreed that this is the best way to warm the x5 up.
