Oil takes a hell of a lot longer to warm up than coolant, especially when cold out. When it is well below freezing, sometimes the oil never gets up to full temp, even after hours of highway driving.

Also, the Honda coolant temp gauge is not a real gauge, think of it as a three position switch. The 1er has an actual temp gauge. So you are seeing real data, not make you feel OK data.
