Im almost FBO, just missing an intercooler, but rn im running jb4, bms intake, wagner DP, mpe exhaust, and I wanted to start trying out e85 for some "fun" nights. How much e85 would you suggest putting with 93? what have you guys used and been successful without misfiring?
on bms website its says 40% but i feel like that's really high.

Start with 3 gal and see how your car runs..maybe even do a log. If all is good, try 4-5 gal on next tank. It's all about experimenting with what your car likes. I personally don't go over 5 1/2 gal.

I am bone stock on my 35i. Aside from my jb4. So far I started with Map 5 and 2.5g E85. Then I went to 3.5g then went to 4.27g. That was my best run. This time I'm going to run around 5-5.5g of e85. Since I'm a PWG my car tends to tolerate a bit more than the EWG cars for whatever reason.

This is true. Here is the instructions on N54 tech:

7) As a general rule EWG cars are not very E85 friendly. If reliability is a concern no more than 30% E85 should be used and the highest map used should be map 2. Using map 5 or map 7 with E85 mixtures may result in boost running high enough to exceed your fueling capacity triggering various codes and/or JB4 safety map 4 switches. If you are more experienced and able to analyze your own logs you are welcome to play around, but we've instructed technical support NOT to provide assistance or advice to anyone exceeding map 2 when using E85 with the EWG platform. If you run map 5 or 7 on E85, run in to problems, and ask for help, you'll get the company line of "for E85 use no higher than 30% and map 2". For more power consider race gas instead of E85, or add in a methanol kit allowing use of map 3.

I got 2 places I know of, one is newark, but paying to get on turnpike just for e85 is meh, I have a place up north in jersey to the right, which is the border near spring valley and nanuet, and I know a BP near the Palisades Mall that has e85. It's on 303, and only about 15 minutes form my house

Quick question. 2013 335i m sport with just intake and jb4. Can I mix 2-3 gallons of e85 and run map 1 or 5 safely to see increased power with no other modifications added?

For e85 use map5 to auto tune the extra octane.
