Other than noticeably longer to heat up the engine, the diesel starts up very quickly and is a significant improvement compared to my previous V 10 S6 cold start. It's recently gotten as cold as -15° F and the car still started up without any issue. Actual performance still feels quite strong, I do not notice a difference once the engine is warm.

When I picked up the car from the dealer it was stored inside the garage, the diesel fired up instantly. Last Night it was -20C and there was a pause of 2-3 seconds after pushing the start button and before the engine fired up. No other noticeable issues in sound or performance between the outside temperatures.
The time it takes to warm up the coolant temperature to 90C is the same time it took in my last car (E90 M3)

I wanted to add to my above post (where is the edit button). Although the car is still being broken in, and I haven't pushed it hard, the noticeable torque curve of the diesel is awesome. Thing pulls like a freight train at low rpms. FYI RPMs are 110km/h are 1,400 ... and it still has grunt to pull without downshifting.

Anyone has this:

The Porsche Cayanne, VW Tourag, Audi A8, and Audi A7 have 3.0 TDI engines but I believe only the A6 and A7 have the 2nd gen TDI 3.0. I think someone will have to be the guinea pig
