I never saw that in my owners manual. but it's also in German, and my German isn't very good..
Is it possible to convert it to E85? and is it anything to gain from it?
Edit: I'm thinking about performance/fuel economy. Will the car run more effectively on E85 if converted?

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Fuel economy
goes down, a bunch.
Performance can go up if the engine is modified i.e. supercharged or turbo
Raise compression,modify fuel injector pulse width,change all seals,use different oils,E85 is electrically conductive so fuel pump needs to be changed or Kablooey
if a stray spark happens.
Last it is very hard on Aluminum and I don't know if the alloy used in the M112 and M113 won't turn into a puddle after several years.
To say nothing of the fact that it takes more to make the stuff than what it sells for.
