Default D24t

Idk about your climate
But
My d24t warms up within a couple of miles or appr 10mins of easy driving (colder months, East Coast of USA). My high mile m46's overdrive needs even more in the coldest months.
2000rpm sounds gentle but in the Winter even that often seems too high for the first miles... Keep your foot off the pedal as much as you can and do not race the engine. Especially uphill or towing.
In general, any month of any climate, you should definitely avoid taking the highway in the first ten minutes to avoid excessive (unnecessary) wear of internal engine parts.
