Just had the t-stat replaced in my E420 (simliar warm-running characteristics as your modified M119) which fixed the same issue - rarely getting up to 80C even after extended idling. Get it looked at immediately as an engine running too-cool can cause severe damage quickly.
See my recent post "M119 Running Too Cool?" For other repsonses on the same subject.
