Slightly off-topic, but does anyone else feel that 105 is a bit too high for the aux fans to come on? My 300SD plants itself at 80 degrees and does not move a millimeter when in traffic, hot, cold, etc. When I got my 300E I was extremely concerned when it hit 100* in traffic and then went down to 60* on the highway. I have never seen a cars temp fluctuate so wildly. I take it 105* is "fine" then and will not hurt the engine? I get nervous when it hits the 100 mark.

Edit: yes, I do realize that diesels create less heat than gas engines, but in comparison to other gas cars, the temp gauge is wild.
