mine is the NA engine - so it has an 85 degree thermostat in it, it maintains a 90C temperature at all times.
The fan clutch kicks in at quite high temperature, usually near 100C sitting idle, the clutch soaking up the heat. It gives a loud audible roar to let you know its working.

I haven't heard the main fan kick in (viscous or electrical) so I am guessing that my thermostat is running the engine a bit too cool for anything to start working. I did notice on the gauge that the redline is at 120C with 100C being around 3/4 of max.
FYI for anyone else with the W210, there is a hidden menu within the AC unit, press the 'Rest' button for around 6 seconds, it will come up with a code on the left and right, press the left auto button to scroll round to number 6, that is your coolant temperature in degrees C as a digital read out.
