I disagree with Bryan above. As a user I need relevant results and not results manipulated by commercial interests. So thanks, Google, and can't you get rid of the rest of the cheaters?

I saw the BMW response, and believe them instead of Google.

Google is on a track to self destruction. They appear to me to be another Enron in the making. It is too easy to set up a search engine that performs the way Google used to, and others have done so.

I'm amazed BMW would go to such measures, since one would think "BMW" would be a pretty unique term to begin with. Go figure.
