Engine oil OEM BMW or OEM Volkswagen

Just drive it. With these 0w20 oil is circulated immediately. My G20 330e does a cold start when accelerating the highway. The RPM limit is protecting your engine so even with a kickdown it won't go above 4k RPM and will shift very early.

i drive a g21 330D xdrive, I've been researching warm up procedures and people recommend letting the oil circulate for 30+ seconds then cruising in eco pro as the torque band is toned down and it changes gears as early as possible.

Depend on the oil grade that is in the engine.
In proper units that’s -15°C which is very close to the limit of a 10W- oil. I would let such car warm for 5 minutes easily.
If your car is running a 5w or 0w it will be fine to start driving in less than a minute. Which is just the time you need to remove the snow and ice from the windows, how convenient :P
Pros: fine to start driving
Vehicle:
BMW 1M
I do in my BMW. Oil is cheap compared to a re and re on a diesel no longer sold in country.
Pros: Oil is cheap

BMW
If you are using VW original oil then stick to it and the service interval. 15 years 229,000km later mine is going strong. I did mess up by doing service at 15k km all these years. Sticking to 12k is best. Instead try iftex system D. Makes a very noticeable difference. More important I feel is changing the air filter more often. And compulsorily changing diesel filter every year.
Pros: stick to service interval, air filter change often, diesel filter change yearly
Cons: mess up by doing service at 15k km
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Polo
Been running 87 and 5w 40 on my mk7.5 for the last 40k of ownership. She loves it, no tics stutters or hiccups at 65k miles.
Pros: no tics, no stutters
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 65000 km
eu la cc ul meu 2.0 tdi cfgb am pus si 0w30 si 5w30. (0w30 ulei volkswagen si 5w30 fuchs si ravenol). vara, in blana pe autostrada, uleiul 0w30 atingea si 118-119 grade ceea ce e cam aproape de limita. 5w30 peste 114 nu trecea.
Pros: 5w30 mai rece
Cons: 0w30 atinge limita

BMW
Mileage: 151000 km
Nah you're fine. BMW engines are known for using some oil. Even 1l on 5k km is not much, even the dealership considers this as normal.
Pros: normal oil consumption
Cons: using some oil
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 5000 km
Lots of BMW's as they get in to the upper mileage tend to start consuming oil one way or another.
Cons: consuming oil
Vehicle:
BMW X5
Using the incorrect oil can cause damage and will definately void your warranty. Call the closest dealership and buy the oil for this oil change.
Cons: can cause damage, void warranty
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
