BMW, McLaren and friends probably simply buy all the carbon fiber they use from Toray. Just like Boeing do.

If McLaren has some production, it's probably not more than a pilot plant.

It's not actually producing carbon fiber that is the secret sauce.
BMW co-owns a company called SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers.
