Also because I do a short run to and from my business unit every day I have been deliberately taking the car on a 10 mile detour to get everything warmed up nicely each day.

Believe it or not, you NEED to stretch the legs on her. I driven all of my M cars, better yet ALL my BMW's hard...they tend to like it better. I don't mean stop light racing every time, but I'm definately two to three cars past everyone and doing the speed limit if I'm the first in line at a light, I'm not shy about passing, etc. Give the engine and those sensors a workout instead of such a limited range of use, it teaches the computer new adaptions and might solve your issue.
