I started the 240D yesterday evening -- not sure what the garage temp was, but it was around -7 outside and the car hadn't been started in several weeks. I did have a BatteryTender plugged in the entire time, which might have kept the battery warm. But I did three preglows and the car cranked right over.
Move the 240D out into the weather so the daughter (home for Christmas break) could put her car into the garage.
