Hi

In a CIM point of view, a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) is a "ComputerSystem" with its "Dedicated" property set to "Management Controller".

http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/cim-sdk/smash/u3/ga/apirefdoc/CIM_ComputerSystem.html

This ComputerSystem has a "Hosted" relation with the ComputerSystem representing the server.

Not sure it helps ... ;-)
