oil temp seems a bit high?

I just got my oil changed and as I exited the bmw dealer's parking lot I noticed that the oil temp was at almost noon, when I've never seen it above 11 o'clock.



the temp outside is 73 and I did not drive above 3500rpms or so. And I assume the car had been off and cooling for the past half hour or so since that's how long I waited for the oil change.



In another thread most people say their needle stays around 11 oclock, maybe 190-200deg.

Am I just being overly concerned? Does this oil need to "break in?"

Also the oil level on the dipstick is only midway between min and max, not at max.

Called dealer back and they said they used 10w60 (on paperwork too), but I am worried the wrong oil is in there which would cause higher than normal temps??
