While I might agree that 230 is a little on the high side, you will find if you run the AC on max for a few minutes the temp will go down as it will force the thermostat to full open.  No real options on changing to a different rage on the thermostat

I have 2 R56's, 2008 and 2009.  Recently, i replaced the timing chain, water pumps and thermostats on both cars.  The 2008 is an automatic and the 2009 is a 6spd manual.  I installed the cravenspeed flexpod set in both cars to monitor oil pressure and temperature. 
My 2008, runs warm.  Operating temp is currently running about 230 degrees.
My 2009, runs at about 190 degrees. 
electric fans work on both at operating temp.  I changed oil and filter for both cars.  I cannot believe that the Automatic Trans makes the 2008 run so much hotter. 
*** is it possible to get a cooler thermostat for the R56 N12B16 non-turbo?
