It's weird ... I really hate it when it's cold. But boy, when the temperature it's at its optimum the whole car comes alive. Same applies to the engine. When it's cold it's a bugger. And with all the bearing issues with the s85 and some on the s65, I try and upshift to 3 and 5th to keep the revs down and it also goes a long way to help with driving. I notice when I first start the car the kangaroo hop is really bad when shifting to 2. So I skip 2, and 1 to 3 and 5 which keep the revs under 3k rpm untill engine oil temperature goes up. A few things I do to keep any issues down.
