		<description>It depends on what they are supplying BMW..... the parts could involve some insider info on BMW products, which would then create conflict of interest. BMW would now have to evaluate the situation very carefully. You don&#039;t want to be  spending sums of money on R&amp;D of a cerain innovative part or product and the supplier just dishes it out to its sub compay, Opel in a similar form.</description>
