Made a video on calculating e85 content (drive along)

2Times · 12-10-2023, 07:53 PM

I got a few DMs asking about e85 blends and how I calculate the blend.

Cliff notes:
I use BM3 flex fuel sensor (fuel pump top hat mount)
Running F80 Paul flex fuel tube
Fuel-It App for calculations
Alt Fuel to find pump e85

-Make sure to go in to the Fuel It App settings and change the tank size to 15.6
Pump 93 octane usually has ethanol in it. Shell 93 reads e10
Know what the pump e85 actually measures.. I’m lucky to have e81 reading at my spot
Know what your current tank E content is to plug in to the calculator

I posted the DP/Tune cost vid last week and got some good feedback , let me know if there are any topics to touch on.
Attached a pic of the two apps I use

I didn’t realize the G82 dash was different from a G80 on the 2023s?

That's the only reason I waited for the 2024 M4 instead of getting a 2023 model.

That's too funny... it's one of the reasons I wanted an M4 and not the M3... I like the shortcut buttons (I use them quite a bit)

I had the 21 M4, it was RWD, and I wanted the X-drive
I loved my setup so much that I ended up with the same car on order, with X-drive being the only difference (same color setup, same options)

I figured if I also got the same dashboard, I would quickly get bored of this car.

Same. I wouldn't get the new dash.

I actually enjoy the new dash. Very large icons so you really can’t miss. Only gripe would be the AC speed should be a button.

some of my friends and family really like the interior look upgrade, while others feel the large screen is out of place and looks a bit aftermarket
