From what I've read the 745 engine internals are a bit different plus it has a lower compression ratio to avoid detonation at boost with regular gas. I would imagine that if you always run with premium it may not be a problem. Otherwise you'll need to lower the compression ratio to compensate.

There's nothing like forced induction on a 3.5 BMW motor.

Has anyone added a turbo to a 735? I/E turned it into a 745...if that makes sense - -i'm no expert on model designation, but would that be a feasible idea? just curious....Please steer me straight if i sound crazy!
