Next time i am under the car i will take a picture with the part number, i really do not think they are TRW/M style ones but the car was registered by BMW Munich AG for 2 years before it was sold.
TRW also makes parts for OEM (you knew that). Maybe there was shortage of Lemförder, and BMW switched to TRW for that one control arm...

TRW makes the calipers on my dad's GTI.
