Alex,

This is very interesting! In particular the parts supplier of the auxiliary fan is listed as Siemens - the third party supplier for the infamous failing fans. Presumably, the problem has been corrected. There was a rumor that these fans were produced in Canada.

I suspect that BMWNA will restrict our access to this site by tomorrow evening.

I didn't go through the whole list, but with 126 part suppliers, I ask myself, what the hell is BMW producing ?

Guys, that is the list of suppliers to the Spartanburg factory. Those are the companies that make components for the X5 and Z3 lines. They probably don't make any products that are used in the German or SA produced BMWs (although I'm not sure as I didn't read the entire list)
