Not sure if that would be helpful while using LPG, but here in Brazil some ethanol-powered versions of the Volkswagen EA827 engines had a water-heated intake manifold. Probably could decrease the distance required to switch from gasoline to LPG in those cold mornings.

There's also a 1985 BMW diesel 524tdA (E28) in my hands. But i keep it in a garage. Here in Stuttgart i don't get a permission to run it in the city due to the fine particulates.

Gotta hate it. Wouldn't be more reasonable for the government to enforce the usage of cleaner fuels on those old Diesel engines? As it's an IDI it would tollerate some pure vegetable oils as an alternative fuel. Or you could even have it converted to dual-fuel Diesel/LPG in order to keep the particulate matter low.
