Funny that you started this thread. I pump near an airport and lots of taxi drivers pump there as well. I always get looks and sometimes the indian guy across from me came over and looked at my e85 pump with a weird look. And I always get people who will compliment me on my car or ask how much to get into one of those.

If I can verify that I think that's the route I'm gonna go, mtech bumper looks waaay sweeter and more aggressive than the m3 bumper. Imo. + that would allow for the Lci headlights! |

I don't want my car to look like an M3, I want it to look like a 335is If anything a carbon fiber trimmed vented hood or custom hood to support an intake system for the VTTS3 Turbos

Do you intend on doing any suspension upgrades? ~500whp is also my goal, but even around what I'm guesstimating to be 400-420 (?) on 50% E85 (which my clutch doesn't appreciate currently) my car feels so sloppy under heavy acceleration. I'd like to stiffen it up, but I'm not sure if just doing M3 bushings will be enough. Curious if you've considered this and if you have any plans in that regard.

Another thing to keep in mind is that companies like VP racing, Sonoco, etc that make C85, and E85R for non flex fuel vehicles have a real point about the idea of anti corrosives. They can see the goverment subsidesed lower rate of pump ethanol, and are pricing their finished product about the same as their race gas fuels. By your reasoning, all their engineers/researchers are wrong about everything because, there is no justicifcation for the price difference between their product, and pump E85. So you are either saving $, or slowly doing long term damage to your engine components.

Any idea on ballpark costs for the suspension upgrades? I haven't priced much of it out yet, mainly because I don't know much about suspension bits. At least not nearly as much about engine performance bits. |

Wow, I will be dropping about 5k into the suspension one time, it hurts just thinking of it . There are cheaper solutions though, however I rather just get it over with in one shot and not have to worry about upgrading again.
