C400 running temperature high

My C400, once warmed up, seems to settle at a temp that is higher than the mid-point on the temp gauge, see pic below. Is this normal? Most cars I’ve owned run a little below the mid-point for temperature. Car seems to running fine me though.

Thank you, puts my mind at rest. Loving the smooth power from this engine had 4 cylinders for the last few years.

That’s where my 400 has sat since I’ve owned it. Was yours lower at one point?

No, it’s been like this since I got the car a few days ago so I think we’re good.

A gaggle of MB's
Mercedes temperature gauges are "linear" - and yours shows "normal" - the Japanese brands have "hacked" temp gauges that show normal as half-way point.... one difference between the Germans and the Japanese... keep the beat !

Good to know!

Although I do prefer the normal gauges over these electronic ones.
