Low pump speed at idle; decent oil and min tops to let it get round then drive the bloody thing, just a waste of time and money sitting there like a pleb upsetting everyone.

Bmw M's are shit for first few minutes due to air pumps, but not gonna sit there waiting for them to cut out before driving off, just get on with it
