Are US cars E85 ready from the factory, did you adapt yours or is it okay to run it and just ignore BMWs warning?
Honestly, I don't have an answer for that :/

The general consensus I got from the forums here is that it is ok.

The only disclaimer I can remember off the top of my head on the gas cap/ door is a recommendation for minimum 91 octane. Here in California, 91 is the highest octane available. When I put e85 in I'm supposedly around 94 octane, I'm not familiar with octane ratings outside of US but I'm sure you can translate this info if it helps.
