How to find out which manufacturers build OEM parts for BMWs?

Do you guys know how to find out which manufacturers in the world produce parts for our cars? The genuine OEM parts?

Look on the part itself. What parts specifically are you thinking of? Maybe someone knows.

hmmm. I'm trying to see if there is some sort of catalog or list of parts manufacturer for BMW vehicles.

I doubt it. BMW probably doesn't want to make it so easy for that information to be discovered. Also, BMW has multiple suppliers for some parts to avoid problems such as supply shortages from one supplier causing BMW to have to stop production on a bunch of their cars.

Off the top of my head Bosch, Sekurit, and Seimens make OEM parts for BMW.

Like someone said, it might help if you tell us what part your looking for.

No catalog. Check Automotive News for info. They periodically publish cutouts of cars showing who supplied what. The thing is, the suppliers have to pay to have their part listed, so while they may list 40-50 parts, it's not totally comprehensive. They usually do it for a new car's debut.
