Not exactly ideal as fan will run constantly, but not a problem as long as your cooling system is functioning. Why do you say not good?
OP - I'd guess you have a fan clutch issue after that long idle. I'm not familiar enough with the e53, but this isn't uncommon on some other chassis models. May be locked up and/or binding, which also explains the noise. The drag can lead to a feel of sluggish acceleration.
