Why the hell do you keep reserve fuel on an e55, doesn’t it suck so much gas? I don’t think it’s that wise to run on reserve with an amg with a supercharger, I may be wrong but me personally don’t like the thought of that

It's not going to hurt anything. I'll drive around for a day or two with my E63 on reserve.

Are the fuel pumps for these cars not inside the fuel tanks and don't they depend on being submerged in fuel to keep them cool during operation?
Less than a quarter tank and you're letting things get warmer than they like. IMHO.
As far as the wonky speedometer goes: Grounds. Check your grounds.

Also you risk sucking up any particles that may be laying on the bottom of your tank, and clogging up your fuel filter.
