My corvette shows me an alternative redline until engine warms up. Pretty sure some other BMWs have this. I go by that.
It maybe touches 39 degrees for one hour a year in south florida Its been a hot winter this year.

BMW M cars have a variable red line which increases as the engine warms up. However, even the reduced red line its still far too high to rev on a cold engine. I always keep it below 3k rpm until the oil temp needle has come off its resting position.
