On the zeitronix website with Can Bus is $399 |
Is this the kit? Looks like it's a new one and it's $339: |
Yes thats the right one. That specific one is cheaper because it does not include the gauge for your E% and/or fuel temp. I personally would get the gauge hence why it would cost me $399. |
Don't forget that you will need the necessary fittings and hoses to connect to the fuel system, specifically the flex fuel sensor - which is not as plug-n-play as I originally thought. The kit in the link does not have the necessary fittings and hoses. Not hard to acquire, but will take some research to get the right sizes/fittings/hoses and some DIY abilities to put everything together if you want to do it yourself. And of course, that adds additional cost even if a shop does the install.
After a bit more research, I think some of the plug-n-play kits look like a better option for most DIY'ers - including me (and I found the parts necessary to build the hoses/fittings). I like the different kit options available at Bend Calibration. They have specific kits for the F8x which takes the guesswork work out of all the "little" things needed to get this working quickly and easily. I am still doing research to see if I want to invest more money on a proper E85 fuel filter setup to go with this upgrade. Two kit examples are below...

And a YouTube video showing the installation on a N55 F87 M2, which would be similar to the S55 in the M3/M4
