After the harsh crackdown on doorwaypages at automobile.de, Google has removed bmw.de from the index. Even though it was known for a while that bmw.de was hosting a few doorwaypages with JavaScript-redirection, it seems that Google decided not to measure BMW with two different kinds of measures after this subject was taken up by several different large US SEO-blogs (1, 2, 3). A discussion on this topic can be found at OMTalk.
Update (02.05.): Matt Cutts commented on this issue in his blog and announced that ricoh.de has also been removed from the Google-index.
