The 87 deg C is pretty much the minimum operating temp.

The W210 thermostat will start opening at 78 - 82 deg C. It won't fully open until 94 deg C. It can pretty much running at anywhere between 87 - 100 deg C, depending on engine load. In the summer with AC on and in stop and go traffic, it can even go to 110 deg C.
