Actually I was just thinking about the hairdryer trick this morning while
worrying it might get too cold before I get a chance to get the glows and
heater done.
Still its weak-sauce compared to a block heater on a timer, especially if I've
set for defrost the night before...

Uhhhh, no. BTDT got the t-shirt. At -10F a 616 is iffy, at -20F it will
not start Mobil 1 be dammed. That was with my '83 240D, the starter
just can't spin the engine fast enough long enough to start at that
temp.
Did you ever try the hair dryer in the intake trick?
Mitch.
