Whilst owning a Z4 M I have been asked several times if its made by MITIE the utilitiy company that plans, installs, manages and maintains buildings and their facilities.

I know people are winding me up... but their logo is a little too close to the 'BMW M' logo don't you think?

It is quite close, but I believe it gets away with it because they don't work/sell to the same industry sectors.

You don't see BMW selling facility management services, and you don't see Mitie selling Motorsport products.

Depends on the TM class - there are 43 of them and to get complete coverage you have to be listed in each of them for each and every product you sell. It would be interesting if BMW went into the their area... it could be an interesting and expensive discussion.
