Ok e85 pros question for you all

I'm running a new stock(only have Dinan cold air intake thats it) 2024 m4 competition xdrive, 3000 miles on it only. Regarding e85 can the s58 handle full e85 or mix 85 with premium? If so what are the advantages and disadvantages. Thanks guys! 🙏

Not stock but if you get a tune it’s possible.

Not out of the box and even with a tune the stock fuel system wont handle full E85. Most tuners wont tune above E50 without fuel system mods.

Just read it in the owner's manual.
"For the best fuel efficiency, the gasoline should be sulfur-free or very low in sulfur content.
Fuels that are marked on the gas pump as containing metal must not be used.
Fuels with a maximum ethanol content of 10 %, i.e., E10, may be used for refueling.
The power and consumption specifications re- fer to operating with RON 98 E10 fuel"

Our cars are sold in Brazil and Venezuela. In Brazil they have 25% ethanol content in the fuel by law. As a result of that the stock fueling system can easily handle up to 25% ethanol without needing a tune. You probably won't make power but the car will drive fine.
