2 Instrument Panel problem of the 2000 BMW 740

Failure Date: 12/13/2010

I have a 2000 BMW 740il that is very hard to read from the dash board or the instrument panel. I cannot read the exact mileage on the car, outside temperature or any other information that comes to the screen behind the steering wheel. I would like to have this fix since it is a safety hazard. Any idea of what to do from this point will be of great help.
