Same on a 535D M-Sport, plenty of bars (about 12 when cold), then drops by a couple every few miles down to 3 or 4 left showing all the time.
My logic would have told me that all should dissapear once at optimum temperature, but after reading above, i guess that's not the case.

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
Sure, it's safe to rev into those remaining bars; but be forewarned, you are about to have your fuel shut off! Been there, done that.

While the dealer fixed my cup holder, they did a CIP upgrade for me, but the Service Advisor was not sure what version they did put into my car 
. Anyway, I just notice no matter how hard / how long I drove the car, the white stripes in the tachometer won't retract completly. It used to disappear completly after driving for 5-10 minutes, but now, the 3 last stripes will stay here no matter how long, how hot the outside temperature is.
Anyone has the same problem?

It's normal to have 3 - 4 bars. Consider white bars as warning zone, and red bars as danger zone
