My Ride: 535i sport
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi, this may be a dumb question but it's my first BMW I've owned and don't really know how to tell. I just purchased a 2008 535i RWD and have been seeing a lot of post about them being stock twin turbo. Any help on how I can tell if mine has this??
Also I found a sticker on the engine that says 08876786

Thank you

Yes if have a 08 535 you have two turbos. Read your owners manual thoroughly you will learn a lot.

I thought so but the salesman at the used car lot said it wasn't turbo. Could he be right? Did they make 535i non turbo in '08 or all '08 535i's are made with turbo?

That's one of the problems you can run into with a used car salesman, they are not always up to speed on some of the basic things. Send me your last seven digits of your vin and I'll take a look.

I thought so. I've been looking online doing research like crazy and couldn't find anything about an '08 535i being non turbo. I send the last 7 in a pm Tonyb635
