Weird one. Never come across the indicator one, but most problems are down to the hazard switch rather than the stalk.
There aren't many earth points on an E30. - Behind left headlamp on inner wing. back left corner of rear seat pan, bolt on front right suspension turret, minor ones on each column stalk securing bolts and near the sunroof switch, and the one most likely to be relevent to your problems, above the back of the glovebox.
