Didnt we establish before that TRW sells OE BMW and their own OEM part. The M is ground off because of legal reasons for them to sell a OEM class part.
I dont think they even care which is which - I assume the batch is ordered, they make them all to spec perhaps 20% more than ordered, than they make a % of them OEM by grinding off labels
