I sometimes switch to S1 or S2 once the engine oil is above 120 (lowest point on temp gauge) and let it rev up to like 3k rpms. Once it reaches optimum temperature (180+), I turn on sport+ and drive it in either D2 or S2, shifting around 3.5-4k rpms because I'm still in break in.
Did you notice any performance issues with the M2C after letting it idle for long periods to warm up? Or just mostly time wasting? I’ve recently stopped warming up my G87 for 5-8 mins before taking off. Worried about performance issues down the road even though I doubt I’ll have any. Mostly just wasted time lol.
