Summary
BMW of North America
business corporate automotive internal
BMW-GDCA-AS is held by BMW of North America, LLC.
What it's used for
- The address space carries internal corporate infrastructure, evidenced by the netname
BMW-MANUFACTand registrantBMW Manufacturing Co., LLCfor both announced IPv4 prefixes. - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, isolated internal network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of internal data center and manufacturing facility communications for BMW's North American operations, not public internet services or subscriber traffic.
Notable
- Registrants align with the announcer, with both prefixes registered to
BMW Manufacturing Co., LLCunder the netnameBMW-MANUFACT. - The address inventory is finely subdivided into two /24 blocks, consistent with site-by-site segmentation for a corporate estate rather than a broad access network.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
