Bigger engine and not much room to work with, unfortunately.

dont you need to have a turbo engine to turbo charge it?
haha this made me laugh for some reason lol.

But you can literally turbocharge anything that has exhaust compression and intake. You can turbo charge your lawn mower at that.

Not entirely true, you can sacrifice all the luxury components to make some small turbos fit... by that I mean you can strip the engine bay of it's powersteering, air conditioning compressor etc.. But why do that to a nice BMW?
