Ethanol

I have heard some people say that ethanol can do nasty things to a BMW's fuel
injectors.  I just bought a 1996 E36 328i this past June, through the European
Delivery Program.  I live in Minneapolis, and the entire Minneapolis-St. Paul
metro area is required to use ethanol in all unleaded gasoline.

Has anyone had any bad -- or uneventful -- experiences with ethanol in their
BMW?  Any recommendations on oil companies that use lower percentages of ethanol
in their blends, if it does cause problems?

Thanks much!
