The N52 has an intelligent heat management system that utilizes the electric water pump and t-stat. It varies the engine temperature based engine load demands and fuel consumption/emissions requirements using four (4) mapped temperature ranges: 112 deg. C in Eco mode, 105 deg. C Normal mode, 95 deg. C High mode, and 80 deg. C High (load) + mapped t-stat mode. These are cylinder head temperatures. So what you are observing is normal operation of the N52 cooling system.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
