Turbo change - how to turn over without firing?

[MarkoNoTVR]

I need to change the turbo on my E61 530d. How do I turn the engine over without it firing so I can prime the new turbo with oil?

I don't want to play 'guess the plug' in terms of what to disconnect.

Disconnect injector electrical connections.

Easy as that, then? Makes a change.

Cool, cheers!

Or prime it with oil whilst fitting. Install oil return first so it doesn't just pour straight out of the bottom obviously.

I picked up a gasket set which appears to come with a syringe full of oil (only a pic, no real text description), so may use that as well.

That'll be the priming oil then. I know you can buy it from BMW also.
