I honestly think it was an error on BMS's part where they reused your pictures. I'm sure an employee made the mistake somehow. This is the part that is wrong of them.

But about claiming that they copied your design, nothing can be done about that. That's how the automotive game works. If you don't have a patent on it then you're out of luck.

Do you think BMW complains when all the Chinese manufacturers take their carbon fiber products and copy them exactly then sell at 1/4th the price? No. It happens to all companies.

And as someone else pointed out. It costs you maybe 50cents if not less to make a clutch stop and you charge 10$ for it. BMS figured they can do the same product and charge less. I'm personally for lower prices since we get hit with the BMW tax all the time.
