Take out your instrument cluster, open it (by untwisting black thumbscrews - you'll figure it out once you have it outside), inspect all the bulbs and their contacts - clean all the contacts and replace the bulbs (they're cheap). You can also check for bad capacitors while you're at it.

If they're the same type of tiny bulbs I was always changing on my E12 they are dealer only parts but are pretty cheap. You might be best buying a 'card' of them and going for a discount.
