No muff. Never had an issue on my old classic on gas in winter.
The BMW v8 should warm up quite rapidly even in winter. Mine currently warms up in around 1/2 a mile, so even if this extends to a mile or so I am not gonna complain.
If your gas system takes a while to switch over I think you need to check the switch over temp setting, my BRC system switches at around 45degC.

Take a view on it when it gets colder, but don't forget that once it is up to temp you'll have to remove the cover to allow proper cooling to the engine or else you'll cook the engine.
The BMW engine is designed to run at 105degC which is quite high anyway, and will happily achieve this temp in the depths of a British winter without additional covers.
