As for uncluttering things, that's not an issue either. BMW could easily add it to the idrive under the vehicle information section where the TPM monitor, engine oil level, etc. is. Coolant temperature data is readily available on the OBD-II buss.

You're assuming modern engines require a period of warming before they're ready to be driven off.
There are many out there that disagree with you. Google "do car engines need to be warmed."
I won't get into the debate, but it's obvious by googling that the debate was settled some time ago.
