Does anyone else's thin red full indicator line on their fuel gauge sometimes work & sometimes not? Any leads on fixing it? Perhaps it's a bunk solder joint somewhere?

Do I have this on my R56? I'm not sure what you mean. Do you have a picture?

That's pretty cool! I guess that's a gen 3 Mini? Don't have the red line in mine (unless it always does not work!).

Good luck!

I'd call it a a quirk of the gen1 nav...
Car is about 10 years old...I'd ignore it, and have fun!
Consider it to be "character".

Well, color me embarrassed, looks like that line just appears whenever the headlights are turned on haha. Since I typically leave my lights in the "auto on" position, it seemed like this line was coming on randomly. Honestly though, it would make more sense to just be on all the time.
