Casting mark on outside of oem whels?

I just wondered about the casting marks on the outside of oem bmw wheels. Most I've seen are "13", but I also have one that is "1". I assume this corresponds to the factory that produces the wheel. The extra wheel I have marked "1" also has the BBS logo on the inside, but the others are marked "13" with no BBS logo inside the wheel. I just wondered if someone was knowledgable about this and maybe the different companies that BMW obviously sublets wheel manufacturing duties to.
