E85 pertains to the amount of Ethanol in the gas and i really pray you did not put that stuff in you car as it contains 85% ethanol

The MAX ethanol a MINI can take in the gas is 10% anything above that and you will start breaking down parts of the gas pump, fuel line and other parts and it WILL get VERY expensive to repair.

Yeah, running E85 in a non ethanol car is a VERY bad idea. If you did your looking at a very expensive repair bill...
