In Bavaria, they say "Servus"; in Stuttgart, "Ade": The inventor of the automobile extends his warmest congratulations to Oliver Zipse on his magnificent 35-year career at BMW Group. All the best as you reach new heights! #MercedesBenz #BMW #oliverzipse
Some congratulations come from the heart. The best come from the stars. Thank you, Mercedes-Benz AG!
👏👏👏 Nothing like a good friendly, rivalry to bring out the best in us.
This is the way
High praise from a competitor. Respect for this post!
You are the Inventor of the gas-powered automobile. The world's first full-size, self-propelled vehicle capable of carrying people was a steam-powered vehicle invented by the french Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot.

“Ade” and “Servus” - a wonderful example of how German industry combines strong competition with genuine professional respect. Gestures like this often say more than long corporate presentations. I still remember during my design studies in Germany visiting the factories and iconic showrooms of both brands — an unforgettable experience in design, engineering, and brand legacy. Wishing Oliver Zipse all the best for the future. 👏
Well when I was growing up my dad was a BMW Mercedes Benz and Volvo mechanic so I can tell you a lot about your cars I'll tell you what he said about it he said between the three Volvo was the best and after friends and relatives having BMWs and Mercedes I can saying my father said that the Volvo was the best one at all three he was always driving the Mercedes-Benz and the BMW home to work on at the house any work for Gulfstream motors in Florida West Palm Beach Mercedes Benz dealership you worked on football players cars and famous football players in a few others LOL they can't afford to take it to the dealer me I've never taken none of my car to the dealer except for when it was a free oil change inspection when I bought it from the dealer that's the only way I did that
One thing that still stands out in many parts of German industry is the ability to combine strong competition with visible professional respect. In times where many companies talk about culture and leadership, gestures like this sometimes say more than long corporate presentations.
