If e85 does to bmw motors what it does to every other motor the power will be way more.

I think the gearing and torque will have a lot to do with speed. And I am running a 2.93S diff.

I bet you'll hit it in half the time and yours is probably way safer too. lolsigpic

At least not in an e30 on a 3000ft runway.
I have hit 174mph on the highway very easy and it had a lot more in it, my buddy was just screaming @ me to slow down! hahahaTurbo e30 M52. Built Motor, GT3582r

Holy Crap was that fun! The 3000ft runway was very short though. Because it was a county airport there was a fence at foot 0 and at foot 3000. The pavement was no where near perfectly flat so there was some up and down that got kind of hairy around 120mph. BUT MAN WAS IT FUN!!!
The video looks slow but I assure you that it was freaking quick. The fastest I was able to go with the wavy pavement and limited braking area was 125mph. I am sure with more runs I would have built my confidence and made faster runs but I ran out of time.
Video for proof
