BMW had 1,400 rebuilt parts in 2006 alone, it talks about how they keep original presses for metal work and how finding the right supplier to remanufacture the parts works here.

Should the original supplier no longer be available, only the BMW Development Division can do the job: Either the engineer responsible for the original part approves the identical part provided by a new supplier or a completely new process of validation must be launched.
