uhhhh since they're identical to your old ones I don't why not

As far as I know, one of the 1-series turbos is different from the corresponding 3-series turbo because of the space constrains. So don't shoot yourself in the foot.

Quite right, there is a minor difference between the 135/1M housing and the 335 housing, so they are not interchangeable.

Ok, I figured maybe you could not install a turbo from a BMW 335i to a 1M, but maybe if the contrary ...

I thought the stock N54 turbos were identical to the 1M's turbos...I have even talked to my buddy who just got his turbos replaced under warranty and his SA said that the 1M and the 335 have the exact same turbos so it made him feel like he was getting "better" turbos even though they are stock and the same lol

As far as I can remember, they are indeed slightly different.

Just pull up part numbers and see. Easiest way.

Turbo sizes between the two series are the same, but there are some differences with the front turbo on the 1 series cause of spacing.

Look else where for your turbo replacement
