Incorrect again. *You* might rarely hear of people running meth on NA cars, but I and others on this forum have been in the car scene for quite a bit, and meth has always been known to help, especially in American muscle cars. So has toulene. All of it increases the effective octane rating, rather cheaply, I might add, so what you're discussing is old news, really. While no one here has been outspoken about such things, it probably has more to do with cars being under warranty and the fact that BMW watches this board. They probably wouldn't be inclined to do engine related warranty work if they found out you were using methanol/toulene/mixing e85 to achieve better performance.

*STRAIGHT E85*, I'd be on the fence about, as you have to be more cognizant about maintaining the methanol itself, but if you're talking *mixed* e85, you already do. Next time you fill up, if you check your pump; like the majority of gas in American, it already contains up to 10% ethanol. Adding a couple gallons more won't kill anything, but it will decrease your fuel economy a bit (like that's really any consideration if you have an M3 *lol*)
