Thanks.
If everything is on time yes, you would make to connection pretty easily.
This is also the case if you could check-in online for the BA flight as if you can't you would need to be at the desks by 17:45 to check-in which is doable if the NAV-IST flight is on time.
However, similar to the previous post, my risk tolerance wouldn't say a 1h35 connection on separate tickets would be reasonable if you would need to pay for walk-in tickets if you miss the BA flight. If you have travel insurance that would cover this situation, then the shorter connection would be OK.
