If you warm up an engine for about 5 minutes, what could cause your engine to cold seize? I only have 53km's on my 2009 M8
A little more info, I took it out of my garage which is kept at +20 and I let it warm up outside for about 5 min. the temp outside was about -15
Well the dealer said it did. they said there going to try and get it under warrenty but a cold seized engine isnt covered
i left home, went to the gas station which is about 1/2 a km, filled up, drove about 8km's away at varied throttle and the motor went. When the motor went i was close to full throttle

Dealer said there were marks on 4 corners of both pistons, talked to three different mechanics, they agreed that those symptoms mean cold seizure. They also said if the machine was air locked, it woulnt have a temp light on and when the coolant made it to the jugs. it could cause this.
Good to get some "expert advise" - thanks for stepping in SS.
Hey, great time in McBride over Christmas - Nice Jump Buddy.
So you were running around in freezing temps and low altitude with regular fuel with some crappy octane booster added?
