Either its the button or something inside is stuck. You can always take apart the cluster and look to see if the teeth on the numbers are broken, stuck or catching onto something.

Default Repair shop

There are shops that specialize in this sort of repair. They take it apart and fix it and calibrate the speedo while they are at it (if you want). BTW: it is illegal for a consumer to even open the case.

Its not illegal for a consumer to open a speedo case, If that was the case I along with many BMW owners would be in jail for replacing a service indicator boards which are located in the speedocluster.
It is illegal to tamper with the mileage, which anyone with half a brain who is stupid enough to try only to get shafted by carfax up on resell. Tampering with the odmeter to set the miles low is a felony.
