Bootmod3 stage 2

Just purchased a 2013 bmw m5 with tune, intakes, and downpipes. Currently working on getting access to the tune which I am guessing is running a tune for 93 OCT.

Where I live I only have access to 91 and E85..... will it be ok to run the 93 OCT map if I do 91 and a small mix of E85 while I am working on gaining access?

as long as you keep an eye on the fuel pumps, you can run a small mix of E85 just make sure your total octane is 93 or higher

Would recommend lowering torque levels. Rod's have been known to bend on this OTS tune.

Yeah, not worth a few extra HP, IMO. I know plenty of folks that use 93 pump gas on a 91 tune just to be safe. If anything, a good quality octane booster would be a safer bet.
