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.

There are opinions ALL over the web, so it all needs to be taken w/ a grain of salt Between owning both E34 and E39 M5's, one having written instructions while the other has a progressive tach, I absolutely believe that engines need to be warmed up before driving past say 3-4k rpms on a cold engine. If engines didn't need to be warmed up, why do we use mutli-weight oils if, in you opinion, it's all the same regardsless of the engine temp? Sorry, but I'm not a buyer.
