I've noticed this too. In the cold weather the temp would almost never go above 80°C and would take a long time to get there but now that it has been HOT outside (90°F) and the AC is running the car will go up to the line which I assume is 100°C if I am at idle. I also notice the "roar" of the fan engaging which has never happened before to me (I bought the car in January). I don't know if the electric fan has ever kicked on but the gauge has never gone above 100°C mark, it usually comes back down to about 85°C as soon as I start moving again.
I believe this is prefectly normal for these cars but I would like to test out the electric fan...anyone know how to do an easy test to see if it is functioning in a W210?
