Pump e85 isn't actually e85 either, it's more like e40. Well, that's what the sources I was reading said back when I was having the convo. Wiki says USA e85 is 51-83% ethanol.

Either way, flex fuel would be pointless regardless of what e content the fuel has, because there isn't a working tunable flex fuel sensor for the m2.

So your options are:
1) Don't install flex fuel sensor, run pump e85, and use the BM3 e30 tune. Which is designed for e30 as a safety measure for pump e85 variaences.

2) Purchase your own e85 that has consistent ethanol content and get a custom tune for that.

If running e85, you want a bigger turbo though. Because the stock turbo would run out of it's efficiency range. It would make low end power, but fizzle out in the top end.
BM3 is release flex fuel support soon. See this thread

I realize that pump E85 is inconsistent, which is why I'm waiting for the flex fuel support.
