Glow plugs - so you have a deisel. Not sure then. I know deisels can behave differently than gas (petrol) engines at startup, in general - so you might google about deisel cold-starts. Other than that, I know there are 335d subforums on some sites, might searchthose since the engine is the same.

I don't know much about diesels, but they have different coolant systems than petrol cars that takes longer for them to warm up.
