Take a looksie at FastLane, bet you find a block heater for the 380 in there, I know they have one for the 560. Think the cost was ~$60, almost got one but decided to wait and see how bad it is up here.
The first days the morning temps were below zero, the engine fired off but it turned slower than I liked. When I changed the oil I went from 10W30 semi-synthetic to 0W40 Mobil One. Wow, does it ever spin up quick on the cold morning starts.
You might consider using a winter blend oil for your cold weather driving, either dino or synthetic should work.
