Well, JB4 does have support for meth on all maps if set up correctly. I believe Steve@Fuel-IT gave an brief overview over on the n54tuning forums, the thread is below. If you're still under warranty though I would personally stay away from E85 for the time being. My friend had to pay out of his pocket when his hpfp failed while running only 1-2 gallons of E85 on his JB4 14 535i, I believe the bill was an hefty $1300 for parts and labor. The dealer actually ran a E85 test kit on his car as actual proof so he had no way to have it covered under warranty.

Anything else recommended since I'll be running a JB4 and 2-3 gallons of E85 fairly consistently?
