My 2005 2.0 M59 failed an MOT on emissions. Never happened before. It was submitted early morning and was not fully warmed up. temp gauge showed normal BUT the requirement is that the OIL temperature should be at least 60C. I drove it home then took it to another station, after warming it properly, and it passed easily - nowhere near the limit.
I think you need a drive of at least 10 miles from cold to bring the oil temp to 60C
