Engine Warm-Up is a small script mod that adds a more realistic engine warm-up phase to BeamNG.drive. Instead of engines reaching operating temperature instantly, they now warm up faster while behaving closer to real cars by holding a certain RPM.

During the warm-up period, the check engine light can flash as a visual cue, and this feature can be toggled off if you prefer a cleaner look. All settings are adjustable directly from the game's Mods tab, letting you fine-tune how the warm-up behavior works.

The mod is designed to work with nearly all combustion-engine cars, though it does not apply to electric vehicles and may not function perfectly with every custom mod car. It's a great pick for players who enjoy small realism tweaks that make driving feel more authentic without heavy configuration.
