Bmw handbook says you should not leave the car to idle while warming up. It takes ages for the oil to circulate. It says the best warming up procedure is to drive fast, if able to, without revving the engine to much!

It is right not to leave it idling, iirc it says best to keep the revs varied i.e. driving!
