Good question because that ties into what I said about people and their driving habits, cold engine procedures, etc. While my E34 M5 doesn't have the cool engine RPM's light that the E39 M5 has, the owner's manual gives basically the same procedure that only certain RPM's should be reached until the engine is up to a certain temperature. This also helps the transmission just as much. I don't even get close to redline in ANY of my cars till their at least to 1/2 or more of their normal temperature.
