BMW settled with peanuts

(Reuters) - BMW AG agreed to pay more than $2.2 million to settle U.S. government claims that it failed to refund lease payments to 492 military personnel who lawfully terminated their leases because they were called to duty.

This took 6 years and BMW only shells out $2.2 million. Justice delayed is justice denied. Shame!

Especially when they are burning people going on active duty tours.

It is pretty much standard corporate policy to fight everything. They probably spent more in legal fees than they paid out in damages, etc.

news just keep coming

Very suspicious that the car company said they loaded the wrong software in some cars, which happens to be diesel.

I have a long black list of German corporations.

The VW diesel gate is only the tip of an iceberg. Most German car makers are suspects.
