I'm doing a "Stage 1" E85 tune with F80Paul. Stock everything, just tune and hpfp. That was my goal with the car from the get go. I don't want to do a huge build that requires a bunch of supporting mods. I just don't like feeling like I'm leaving efficiency on the table.

E30 was a nice bump compared to 93, so I expect the E85 bump to be substantial. I'm about $1k in for the upgrade (BF Custom tune pricing + used pump + install myself) and then got a 550i clutch on standby. IMO, not bad for a setup that *should* be capable of 500whp.

Honestly we're spoiled. Think about previous engines that needed intercoolers, charge pipes, lpfp, etc. just to hit mid 400s.
