Proud new S63 owner

Finally pulled the trigger on a CPO'd 2010 S63, 61K miles. Watched the price drop week after week... Car was owned my an older man who took impeccable care of it. Just drove it home and noticed that the engine temp is at around 90. Is that normal? I am used to seeing the temp needle in more in the middle range....
Will post pics soon.
