Obviously you can do it with e85... unfortunately E85 is not bolt on power, it's akin to running meth (also not really simple or straight forward) and really should be done in conjunction with fuel delivery mods which are not bolt on. Sure you can dump some in the tank but its not representative of pump power delivery.

Regardless, the M235 will definitely be more "lively" compared to a clumsy AWD pig heavy 3 series. That is not a good comparison, and if those are the two options then the choice is clear, go for the 2er.
