When were you told to drive gently after starting the engine? That was a legitimate issue with early turbos, which would break if you tried to spin them up cold, and that was eventually solved in order to put a turbo in every car nowadays. Furthermore, BMWs had been turning engine off when stopped for the past 20 years or so. As for the oil pump, I am pretty sure it's driven off the engine itself so you don't need to wait till it spins up.
