Aside from changing our spark plugs I was under the impression we are good to go on the s55. Anyone running e85 feel free to chime in
Some components in older generation vehicles weren't made to handle E85, this is not the case with the latest generation vehicles. I've also never heard of cylinder heads and engine hardware getting eaten up. I'm happily running E85 in both my M's.
