Mine seems to run between 1/2-3/4 up the guage. I thought that was kind of high until I read a few discussions here about it. It seems that is normal.

I had the same problem and it turned out that the gasket on the water pump was defective and caused coolant to leak. They replaced the water pump under warranty.

This is normal. Lots of cars have it designed to stop perfectly in the middle so no one gets flustered, Benz chooses to do things differently. 90C is fine. The car will tell you if it overheats.
