M4 Methanol Injection & NOS Together

I got my upgrades done on my M4 and now I'm contemplating a snow methanol system with NOS. When asking around in the local BMW community, I was advised the S55 engine can handle both systems individually and together without needing to swap out internals as long as they are setup properly with the right electronic fail safes and a good tune flashed.

With that, I was wondering if anyone on here is running both on their M3 or M4 and if so what pros or cons they found and any advice on configuration/installation or specific tunes recommended.

Thank you in advance!

why not just go with meth only, i was in the same boat and shop didn't recommend nitrous for this car , nitrous give a high torque and it might knock the piston

just go with meth and e85

Just curious, did your shop give an explanation why NOS is not a good setup on the S55 engine and does anyone else in the community have any data on this? I'm just curious for my own understanding and always open to advice.

cause nos raise the torque on the car and with high torque these engine breaks , unless your a built motor is possible to add nos.

That makes sense! Thank you for the input! I will look at sticking to Meth Injection. What kind of controller are you using on your meth injection setup? Are you running stock or upgraded turbos?
