As you can see in my signature i have a 07 335i coupe SG. Im looking to do another mod this week or two but not sure what will benefit me more right now. What would you guys recommend as far as more power , which brand and cost of parts. The car has 57k on it at the moment. And for members with similar mods what numbers are you putting down on dyno?

I have the fallowing done to the car:

JB4 firmware 27 map 5 +costume tune
VRSF Catless Downpipes
VRSF FMIC
Dinan Cold air intake
Diana Exhaust
Alpina b3 Transmission flash

Exterior modes:
Rohanna RC10 19 wheels running 275/30/19 in rear.
m3 sideskirts
Aero lip
creed Angle eyes
Car is slightly lowered on springs.

Here is some pictures

FMIC and additional octane, whether that's done via corn fuel and/or meth. Your call.

+1 FMIC should be next.

Im not too crazy about running meth. If i wanted to run more e85 what all would i need? I guess my next mod is FMIC but if i decide to do something for more power for example more e85 what all would i need? Im trying to break the 400WHP mark 400-450 id be happy.

Here's a free one- upgrade jb4 fw to iso25 or 26. it's a revelation!

Massive driveability improvements

You can run E30 or so without issues, more than that you’ll need flash tuning for fueling purposes, and likely a LPFP upgrade to support the requested PSI. A FBO car running E30 should put you right around 400 wheel, as you up the ethanol you can tune for more timing and boost. The numbers we’re seeing on stock turbo cars running E85 are insane.

Thats awesome. Now how do you calculate this mixture for example e30 is how many gallons of e85 and 93? whats the ratio. I think that max i ran was 3 gallons of e85 and a fulltank of93

E30= 30% E85, 70% pump gas.

So for a car with a 16 gallon tank, roughly 4.8 gallons of E85, the rest pump gas. That is a VERY rough way to calculate it, though being exact is more important when you’re trying to run E60 or more aggressive mixes. Do some searching around, the N54 community is really diving into ethanol. I’ll respond to your PM after work, a lot to discuss there.

so E70 would be 70% e85 and 30% 93 octane? meaning 4.8 gallons 93 and the rest is e85? but to run that id need a new LPFP and BMS tune using COBB along with my current Jb4?

E70 is 70% ethanol. But remember 93 octane usually has at least 10% ethanol content, and the E85 you are pumping might be a bit less or more than 85% ethanol.

okay makes sense now. if i wanted to run something along the lines of e50. What will need to be upgraded and added? LPFP and BMW flash with the cobb?

Just vinyl the window trim, much more durable than plastidip. It's cheap and easy to do.

Depends on the condition of your LPFP. I'd say any more than 50% ethanol on a healthy OEM pump is pushing it. Just log your LP pessure and see what your case is. You will want a BMS fueling flash with any ethanol mixture IMO.

the bms flash and i guess upgrade the fuel pump anyways since car is almost at 60k. anything else ?

BMS flash, assuming your base tune is a piggyback. If you start with a flash based tune from the get go, fueling is no problem on the software side. As E90company noted though, hardware you’ll need some upgrades. For E50 you’d probably want another pump inline with the stock LPFP, do some research there’s a huge amount of info on that front.

Edit: you have JB4, I’m a moron and didn’t notice that. Yes, you will need the BMS flash for fueling support.

Here is a site I use to calculate e85 mixes. I'm running e50 with the stock lpfp without any problems. You would have to log and see how high you can go. Start with 30% and go up to 35/40+. You should have no problem hitting 400whp as long as you are fully adapted on map 5 and your avg ign is 1.5 or less. The backend flash will also be beneficial using an e85 map. It will be tuned to be have more aggressive timing than stock which will push more power. Try to find someone with a BT cable and use the free flashing software. You can find the maps and software on n54tech.

Suggestion: you should plastidip or wrap your window trim black. Great looking car btw =)

thanks man, plasti dipped came out crappy. The texture sucks. I need to wrap it. the only thing that worries me is the parts under the mirrors looks like a pain in the A$$.
im going to try to run e35-e40 tomorrow see how it runs and do some logs. I used just e30 before and car felt good. wish i knew someone with the cable to do the BB-we must not speak of flash.
