RE: running temp???
i cant say if thats normal operating temp, cuz mine is in celcius, when im crusing around town stop light to stop light ill run between 98-109*C.... 109c is when im sitting at a light for a while or behind a slow line of cars and have no air flow. at freeway speeds and up it will run 85-95*C so if you do the conversion from *C to *F you can see where im standing at on my 02 f4i...

Highest I've seen on mine was 231 in traffic, but it was really hot out too. My fan kicks on at 226, it goes up to 228-229, then back down to 218 and the fan shuts off. Been doing it the same like clockwork since new
At highway speeds it's usually always at 177-178, though when it's really hot out depending on how fast I'm going sometimes it'll go up to 190 or so

173-185 when I'm going faster than 20mph, upto 228 in stopped traffic with 90+ degrees outside. You should be fine.
If you still suspect something, check your coolant level, whether the radiator seems to have any obvious dings/leaks and if the coolant's low then whether it's leaking from any of the pipe joints.
