Pre-heating please wait

On my previous car once I switched on the ignition I got a message on a cold morning "Pre-heating please wait". When the message went off the screen I then started the car.

On my current BMW the message does not come on the screen until I start the car and so I can't wait before starting.

Is this normal?

    Not a diseasel driver Liam, however on my Brother inlaws 535 he gets an orange coil symbol it goes out after about 10 secs if you wait. He never waits and the car always starts first turn his car is also now mega miles as he commutes regularly to Holland for business.

    So dont know if that helps or not
