Because BMW gave Rover permission to use whatever parts and modify any existing designs they wanted when the 75 was being developed as they both belonged to the same company at the time.

When BMW pulled out there will have been an agreement for them to continue to supply those parts so that production would continue.

When the ZT and ZT-T were brought out they of course used those same parts.

Besides the M47 engine the BMW parts list isn't a large one, if production had continued many of these would have slowly been replaced with alternatives.
