The author wrote that BMW had refused to provide a car to the President of the State Parliament of Saxony-Anhalt on election day. Furthermore, Thalia did not allocate space for the book "Ausgemerzt" in physical bookstores. He stated that the company wanted to avoid critical customer feedback as a reason. However, online ordering was possible to maintain the appearance. https://t.co/nAbOPg7Y9a #BMW #SachsenAnhalt #Kundenstimmen #DE (translated)
Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the eco-friendly energy provider Grüüün will cease supply to around 200,000 private customers nationwide by October 31, 2026. The company only started in 2024 and had advertised price guarantees of up to ten years. Affected customers will need to find a new provider. Grüüün cited planned changes to the Renewable Energy Sources Act and new regulations for power grid expansion as reasons. The company fears that this will lead to fewer wind power and solar installations in the future, making it impossible to maintain long-term price guarantees. Negotiations with the federal government have been unsuccessful, Boeminghaus wrote, referring to a BILD report from October 10, 2026. He explained that this case illustrates how political and regulatory uncertainty can jeopardize long-term business models in the energy sector. https://t.co/NINMEcNkUS #Energiewende #Strompreise #Deutschland (translated)

NIUS commentator Hartmann described BMW's actions as "own goal of the week." The manufacturer withdrew its leasing offer for the President of the State Parliament of Saxony-Anhalt after the AfD politician Tobias Rausch was elected to the office. Hartmann countered that BMW had no concerns about customers like the Libyan dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi. North Korea's ruler Kim Jong Il was also allowed to appear with a BMW from the 7 Series. https://t.co/H5YCu44SDC #BMW #Politik #Kontroversen (translated)

Evelyn Palla, who has been leading the Deutsche Bahn for a year, faces significant challenges, including delayed trains and dilapidated tracks, while she promises to make the railway more reliable and modern, but the progress still needs to be reflected in customer perception. #DeutscheBahn #EvelynPalla #ZugPünktlichkeit (translated)
We want to implement the renovations more efficiently and, above all, keep the burdens on our customers during the construction work as low as possible.

Miss Eve criticized BMW over reports that the car manufacturer withdrew its leasing offer for the new President of the Saxony-Anhalt Parliament on the day of his election. If this is true, the question arises as to whether BMW makes business decisions dependent on the party affiliation of an officeholder, she wrote. She argued that for a company car funded by public means, efficiency and the requirements of the office should count. At the same time, she accused BMW of possibly applying political criteria in selecting customers and warned that these could choose other manufacturers. Miss Eve wrote that she drives a BMW 430i M Sport Coupe, but her leasing contract will soon expire. She could then choose another brand. In the event that BMW excludes customers because of their political views, she noted there are 60.5 million eligible voters in Germany, 30.5 percent potential AfD voters, and 18.5 million disgruntled customers. #BMW #Automobilindustrie #Kundenservice (translated)
The author wrote that BMW withdrew the official vehicle from the AfD state parliament president on election day. The corporation remains silent on the issue, while Markus Söder smirked, he claimed. He referred to the incident as a political act and criticized that the board calls right-wing populism "poison," but benefits from German customers. Furthermore, he accused BMW of sorting customers based on a not further specified criterion and referred to a link. https://t.co/FLqzPKCS2V #BMW #AfD #Politik #DE (translated)
Michael wrote ironically that BMW is now also saving democracy and taking a stance. He opined that the company seems to be able to afford to alienate customers. Moreover, he claimed that the Quandt family, which he referred to as the main shareholders of BMW, had given significant sums of money to Hitler during the Nazi era and profited greatly from Nazi contracts. In conclusion, he speculated that Rausch might soon be driving a Tesla. #BMW #Demokratie #Geschichte (translated)
LarsInvest criticized that Google reviews are, according to him, not very reliable: even a hairdresser with 4.8 stars can deliver a very bad haircut. He claimed that more than 90 percent of the reviews deleted worldwide are removed in Germany. He cited the legal situation as the reason, according to which reviewers must prove that they were customers there in the event of a dispute with the business. This deters many and has led to the emergence of a "removal industry" specialized in removing negative reviews, consisting of law firms and agencies, he wrote. Therefore, it hardly pays off to leave a review for bad food or service. As a positive point, he noted that the number of deleted reviews is now displayed. #Bewertungen #Friseurbesuch #Kundenservice (translated)
Lexa wrote that BMW had withdrawn the service vehicle from the newly elected president of the state parliament, Tobias Rausch, shortly after the election. According to Lexa, this was not done for contractual reasons, but because a party that Lexa considers politically undesirable occupied the position. The company is acting politically by canceling an order instead of making a business decision, Lexa wrote. Moreover, Lexa questioned whether BMW would remain viable if one third of Germans classified the brand as a "no-go." Companies that judged customers based on their party affiliation rather than their purchasing power and loyalty to contracts acted as political players, Lexa wrote. The market would remember that longer than a press release. #BMW #Politik #Kundenbindung (translated)
Bernd Kaiser criticized BMW for canceling the leasing contract for the 7-series company car of the newly elected President of the State Parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, according to his representation. He accused the company of making a political statement while it is cutting 8,000 jobs worldwide and offering severance packages to almost 40,000 employees in Germany. Kaiser contrasted the decision with the BMW management's statements in the FAZ, claiming that certain parties are "poison for the economic location." He wrote that the company should focus more on technological innovations and sales, and he held the perceived misallocation of priorities partly responsible for the decline of the German location. #BMW #Dienstwagen https://t.co/JhQgq0WEGr #BMW #Autoindustrie #Wirtschaft (translated)
