Oh yes, most certaintly, BMW has actually been working with Wiesmann since 1993 when the company was founded. Wiesmann relies on BMW very much and apperantly a few BMW CEO's own Wiesmann vehicles
For instance the MF3 Roadster shares the front suspension from an E46 M3 and the same 6 speed manual or SMG gearboxes as in the latest BMW's. For the MF3 Roadster Wiesmann offers either the E46 M3 6-cylinder with 343PS or the 330Ci (last generation) engine.
A few magazines had been told by Wiesmann that they were looking at the possibilty of dropping the M5's V10 into the MF4 (which as of right now uses BMW's 4.8 litre V8). It appears they've been testing that engine
