It doesn't really matter who makes the turbos as long as they can match it with the engine. I don't know what MB uses but they can use products from common turbo manufacturers such as Garrett turbo or KKK.

Re: BMW owners claim software update degrades performance (335i)
Wouldnt surprise me if MB also uses Mustubishi Turbos..
If i remember correctly MB has a close relationship with mistubishi
They might even own stakes...

Saab is also using Mitsubishi Turbos for their AERO models.

EDIT: and some Volvo models.

Re: BMW owners claim software update degrades performance (335i)
After a couple of hours of surfing I found out that Mercedes are using Turbos from Garrett and KKK. Audi also seem to use KKK and Garett Turbos.

I know for their old turbo diesels they used Garret, but I don't know if they still use them these days.
