E46 330ci - how long to warm up?

[dhutch]

Could nights are coming in, but on my 20min drive to work the temp gauge only made the 1/3 mark 10mins in and then stuck there, rather than at it's normal bolt upright half way round position.

Heating on, 10mins dual carriageway, 10 a road and back lanes.

On the way home it was warmer but only just made normal running temp as I keyed off.

Sounds slow, maybe the stat is stuck open?
Any of the cooling bits replaced recently? Might be s good opportunity for a refresh

Sounds a bit like it doesn't it.

New rad but nothing else in my 2yrs ownership.
