At a bare minimum, you'll need a custom ECU tune and *much* bigger fuel injectors.

Beyond that, E85 is supposedly pretty hard on certain types of plastic & rubber over the long term, so I don't know how practical a steady diet of E85 would be. I would contact Mike at Mynes Performance or here on NAM (his username is Mike@Mynes) for more information, since I know they've tuned MINIs to run on E85.
