It will not hurt a vehicle to be plugged in and running at the same time. The plug in is just a little heater....like whats in your tea kettle....that keeps the cars engine block warm.

I have a '95 BMW 740-i with a "blown " engine ?

It can be bad for the heater as the oil is sucked into the engine and leaves the heater dry. It is designed to be IN the oil and after start-up the oil level goes down a bit due to circulation . That is what I was told about my truck.
