Some of you older folks might remember something similar when unleaded gas started to phase out its leaded counterpart. People with cars from the 60's and older may have had to do some head work or start buying additives.
We have a major central office for BP close to my house, and I always thought it was kinda strange that they make these huge claims about having E85 available in so many states and yet, there wasn't a single pump in the same city as their office. That changed today though as I passed by a new station that proudly advertised "We sell E85!" and it was even 40 cents cheaper to the gallon as well.
I'm sure its been debated about the milage differences and such, but I'm curious what would it take to run E85 in the E34 (lets hope BMW never uses that number designation :p ). You can be as technical as you need to be to explain what would it take, or what could potentially go wrong if you tried to use it outright.
