I don't think my warm up periods are extremely long.
Ok, once in a while when I start the car and then need to go do something it'll be about 5-7 mins but usually 2 mins is all I wait. Per the Owner's Manual of my Mazda3: - "Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine runs smoothly, begin driving." - "After starting the engine, let it idle for about 10 seconds." Per the Owner's Manual of my 530i: - "Do not allow the engine to warm up by leaving it running while the vehicle remains stationary. Instead, begin to drive immediately at a moderate engine speed."

I heard it takes about 1 minute to completely lubricate the whole engine from start up but I don't have expert knowledge to back it up.

Maybe though the USDM Mazda 3 is different to the EU spec Mazda 3? American cars usually have larger seats (average American is overweight) and have softer suspension (comfort over handling I guess) and also have different emission levels.
So, I suspect that maybe the CR is different and the EU Mazdas are designed for higher octane fuel
