Turning off the engine
Ok this might be a total n00b thing to ask, but I want to protect my investment.
Yesterday, while driving a friend to lunch in my new 1er, he asked if there is a prescribed cool down time to think about, before shutting off the engine? He said he has heard of that for porsche's and other turbo engine. I honestly don't know the answer to this. Would you guys/gals mind helping me shed some light on this, pretty please. Also hey, if we can prove my buddy wrong, I am all for that  But, he's the kinda guy that will need to know the reasons.Thanks -J PS darn, I just re-read the thread title .... talk about a NOOB!!!! JEEZ ... someone throw a fish at me or something .... sorry to be such a dork....mods, ya mind helping out my spelling, please ....

The turbos are cooled after you shut off the engine by the electric water pump.
