    But yes, I should have referenced the previous post.

    Well it's not the 1st time BMW has done a turbo.. it's just been quite awhile...

    Early 80s they made a turbo 6cyl 7series...

    The guy rebuilding my 7 was transplanting one of those motors into a 80s 6series car not that long ago... Sadly, I don't know a lot more details about 'em.
