Good catch. I didn't notice this until you pointed it out. I went back through my photos of the other BMW instrument clusters, and they all had numbers in 20 KPH increments (ending at 260). Since the M3/4 has a speedo that goes up to 330 they must have had to increase the increment to 30 KPH to keep it legible.
This does however make me wonder if the cars which are governed in the range of 250 KPH / 155 MPH will have different speedos (i.e. a more standard display with 20 KPH increments ending at 260). I really doubt it, but it will leave a fair bit of the speedo that could not be used (even on the track or in Germany).
