You're just being

My indicator rarely moves.

It goes up a little when doing track days during hot weather.

It goes down a little when driving on the motorway for extended periods (more pronounced during cool weather or at night).

Now stop worrying and drive it!

I never notice mine being anything other than slap bang in the middle! It's probably been fooked since I bought it!

Mine moves a little either side of the middle but that's just the thermostat opening and closing.

I only ask because my stock E46 M3 gauge was always bang in the middle.

Probably because you only drove it down to the beach & back
