Sorry to hear about this... Yes, you NEED to warm up your vehicle!
Here is my process if you're interested:
- Start engine
- Kick down (or two) to soft idle
- Drive gentle (within 2-3K RPM) in comfort mode until engine achieves 200+ degrees (Fahrenheit)
- Do whatever I want after that
I also highly recommend Motul 8100 x-cess gen2 5W40. BMW approved LL01 (not FE) oil with amazing stats better than any other fully synthetic without ester that I've seen.
Good luck with everything.
