Speedometer not working at low speeds?
Speedo not working under 20mph
Every since I ran it to 140 plus playing with a BMW M roadster, I noticed the speedo will fluctuate 1-2mph at any speed, and lately (within the last couple of days), I have no speed indications around/under 25mph. After I get about 45-60 it starts working again, although it fluctuates 2-3mph, at all speeds. What is causing this????? Any information would be helpfull, thanks in advanced!

Sounds to me like you've stretched the speedometer cable. Only option is to replace it, and your problem should go away. When you were driving at such scary speed, did you go off the clock? I only ask because that's a sure way to stretch a cable.
