Welcome to the Forum

That number sounds like a BMW Dealer quote ? Who diagnosed the fault ? What engine ?

Remember BMW don't make Turbo Chargers they buy them in. If you haven't already talk to a Turbo specialist, well more than one so you get a good comparison on cost/warranty etc.

Engine damage will occur if the turbine on the inlet disintegrates sending debris into the engine iif your lucky it will be the exhaust turbine thats gone
