There are two blubs, more than likely the left side bulb is loose/dirty... remove bulb lift the metal tab in the cluster a bit, clean the metal contacts (bulb and cluster) put bulb back in... Done.

LOL or when you put a small piece of duct tape over the indicator light rather than putting in the new sensor sitting in your glove box.

My fuel gauge, tach, temp gauge and economy gauge all dance. Guess who's installing a new SI board this weekend.... (and then diagraming the board and rebuilding it for a spare)

When you drive from Port Credit to Streetsville in the back seat of your mom's e30 slamming the fuel pump with a big screw driver to keep it running long enough to get it home (With my Dad in the support vehicle behind us.... in his e30.)

You know you drive an E30 when you'll spend $1800 on coilovers but feel that $80/ mnth for insurance is too much

You know you drive an e30 when...
After lowering it, pretty much everything else on the street gets the nickname 'minivan'.
