EDIT: Ok, so when searching for "Mandred Schoch" you indeed seem to get linked to the above. If you look for "Wirtschaft" on
https://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/index-2020-27.html you can see that the first item/page consists of three independent small news item, which SPIEGEL always puts at the beginning of the section. So the preview text is from the first item, which is separate to the one concerning BMW.
But that also means that it's probably just a small news item, not a longer interview or anything else of deep substance.
About the paywall, german media has been trying to monetize the electronic version of their print articles for a long time. So they have some online articles (which are free) and some online version of their "SPIEGEL+" articles (which are paywalled). Interestingly, they sometimes put up the english translation of really important articles/interviews for free, but I doubt this will happen here.
