Lucky you for having that auxiliary pump. I'm not positive for all 3 production years that North America got the 335D but my 2011 didn't get this. I have seen my coolant hit 93C after driving on freeway and then come home and park in garage but car still running. It then slowly settled down to 85-86C range. To be clear, car was in 80s until I parked and radiator lost air flow and then went to 93C. I wonder if that T/S just needs to settle in. I do agree the 97C doesn't pose an issue but your fan will run more.

Hey look at it this way, you may get a longer T/S use interval than the rest of us as they all seem to slip down the slope of slowly but surely decreasing control point.
