Is meth safe for your car?

I have heard meth can blow your car up id used incorrectly is this true. Will it void the warranty if installed. Thanks

Do you have a 335i?

If not do you plan on running meth?

To beat a 370Z you just need a tune and DCI!
Ask me how I know
But if you want to "rape" your friend Z add the meth.
Anyway I don't think you can use meth without a tune...

Using the JB4 only will work, and you can smash any stock Z cars. I run the JB4 on Map 1 and can definitely do extremely well against the myriad of Z's and G's i see cruising around Orange County.

You can run meth on any car but you get more benefit from a turbo application. Your avatar says 328 but in case you have a 335:

Meth is perfectly safe if set up properly. It simply atomizes a mixture of methanol and water which acts a cool the intake charge simultaneous to providing extra fuel (i.e. higher octane) which allows for you to run more boost/timing. You need a tune to control the meth onset and failsafe parts that come with the Vishnu PWM meth kit or the Burger WW Meth Kit. The Procede is a much more sophisticated tune (allows for number of additional features such as traction control and has a better control of timing/knock prevention) but costs more. The PWM kit is better than the WW meth kit at partial throttle but full throttle there isn't a big difference between the two.

The Procede plus PWM meth kit runs around $2K and the JB4/WW Meth runs around $1K. I hang out with both Shiv and Terry and they are both terrific people with fantastic companies and you can't go wrong with either. Just depends on what you want and what your budget allows. Either way...best bang for your buck and you can forget 370Z's and start playing with the big boys.

Both are easily installed/de-installed.

Now if you have a 328, you have no shot at a 370Z. Sell it and get a 335. Gotta pay if you wanna play.

Does anyone know if it will actually void the 5 year 50k mile warranty?

JB4, intake, downpipes, and cat back or full exhaust should be your first steps before you start looking for meth answers. Hell, even add the Cyba scoops, depending on how fast you plan to run. If that doesn't work, which in your case it will for sure, then start looking towards a meth solution, new FMIC, etc.
