I have a BMW 2004 E60 (530dA) with 140 000 Km
This week i went to a BMW dealer and they put in my car a new turbo, but when I walk on the road seems more a recovered turbo. Have I the possibility to verify if the turbo is a new or a recovered? If I disassemble any parts have i the possibility to verify this?
Thanks a lot

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
A lot of the major component we buy as 'new' are rebuilt rather than brand-new. It is standard procedure especially with transmissions.

A turbo is a simple device with one moving part, actually one assembly of parts that rotates. A rebuilt turbo is probably less sinful than a rebuilt transmission.
