I don’t see why the M54 would be any different. And now that I think about it, M54’s tend to burn a bit of oil, so this should ultimately reduce carbon in the head, plugs, O2’s, cats, etc.

Oh really???
Have you done any oil analysis before with ethanol? Maybe you can run longer intervals? I imagine the alcohol would attract more water in the system.
What about the spark plugs? How do they look? What's stoic for E85? Are you able to take advantage of higher timing values?
Is there a way to fit wideband O2 sensors in and feed that to the DME? Or is that too much programming and such...?
