Mandatory retirement age is usually for c-suite employees at the corporate/group level and is designed for succession reasons. If the rules did apply to him as the head of the division/chief engineer, then that's just a dumb rule and further evidence of a misguided and antiquated company that legislates retirement no matter how critical that person is to the success of the business.

When a group of people leave, as in this case, it does portray bmw poorly.
