If anyone has a parting out 745i with the tubo and manifold intact, PLEASE contact me. I currently have an '86 535i that i'm thinking about coverting to a turbo, and have been told the 745 will virtually bolt right up the the stock 535 with little modification. Thanks in advance.


You will need a LOT more than the turbo & manifold for the conversion. Intercooler, oil cooler, waste gate & motronic. Keep in mind that the 745 also had uprated injectors, different valves and pistons. IMHO it would be easier to swap engines than convert.
