Yes, I find this issue with the M5. I thought that the M2 being newer would perhaps have a quicker warm up cycle than the M5? Also, I would never hammer the car before the oil was warm.

Just for a change of pace alone though, I like driving the fully auto 528 and then jumping into the manual M car when I feel like it. I think that is the direction I will end up going. If I had more garage space I would keep both.
