E85 and FlexFuel Wires - f80?

What is the deal with running e85 in a f80 m3. I am coming from a 135i n55, so just wondering what is involved, or if the fuel system or tuning platforms dont yet support it??

If it is supported, do you buy the flexfuel wires from burger and go at it with the jb4?

I'm sure mike will chime soon in the mean time I'll try and help. The JB4 has 3 stages of the install. There are the main connections and then theres one on the back of the motor by the cooling system reservoir and theres a connection on each wastegate. The connection in the back of the motor I believe is the flex fuel one.

Personally I'll be getting a ethanol content reader eventually just to be sure what exact mix I'm running.

As of yet there have been no changes made to any fueling, including those Pure turbo cars.

No flex fuel wires. Just hook up stage 2 with the fuel connector and you can run a blend.

Exactly what he said. But also requires you buying stage 3
