Is this an unadvertised feature? Typically a cabin pre-heater is standard on diesel vehicles, but my 35i seems to have one. I'm tempted to check out a parts diagram later today to verify.
Direct injected engines take forever to warm up, so it would make sense to me if this is true.

Not certain about preheater, but I have noticed that the vehicle will heat more quickly on certain days. Particularly if its cold, say 40°F or lower, but its 60°F, I will have to push the thermostat to 80 or higher to get warm air. Plus, on cold mornings sometimes I feel air coming from around the steering column.
