Luckily mine is parked in a well insulated garage.
Ditto - i always worry the oil in the transmission needs a little time to move around and begin warming.
My local dealer told me the revving on cold start is deliberate - it's a roar, followed by a growl, then a purr...

My XE S 3.0 does it too and I also wait until the "purr" stage before selecting gear.
