Methanol injection is a band-aid for an inadequate intercooler system. Your money is better spent on larger heat exchangers and or intercoolers, trunk tank, ETC. I have blown an engine due to a stuck solenoid on a meth injection system so I can't recommend that route. It does work but there are some risks and the methanol does run out quickly when you get into it often.

I read the track oriented M4 GTS is going to use the system. The meth system is also tied to the engines ECU so if it runs out it can adjust timing, fuel, ETC, ETC. The tank will need to be refilled with heavy driving at each fill up and estimated once out of every 5 fill ups with normal driving.
