I believe it is indeed ZF. There is a diagram on the information section of this site that shows the suppliers who make many of the components in the E60.

edit - here you go http://www.e60.net/information/E60_Suppliers.pdf

swajames, thanks for the E60 diagram ... very interesting.

BTW, is there really a "Campaign against PC". Your avatar looks UKish. Oh, I will just Google it. I found it.
