If it's the Bimmian I know, it's a Canadian based business. They ask for this on out of country purchases because there is no protection for them should the credit charge be reversed on your end.
I live in Canada, if I place an order at GetBMWParts.com, they won't ship me anything unless I provide photo ID with my credit card purchase (at least on the 1st order I ever placed with them). When I questioned why, it has something to do with the merchant processing.
Not saying you should order from them, but I would also not suggest they are defrauding you, just being careful.
