The Hofmeister Kink

Okay, while we’re at it, one more BMW post.  Not sure how I got this many BMW links built up, especially since I prefer Acuras.  Though with how behind I am on posting things compared to bookmarking them, I would imagine I can probably get a fair number of themes going.

At any rate, did you know that all BMWs made since 1961 have one design feature in common?  The Hofmeister Kink.  It’s basically that the rear side window comes slightly back forward at the bottom instead of trailing back towards the rear of the car.  There’s an interesting article about it here.  One of those things you don’t really notice until someone mentions it, and then it’s everywhere in a million different little variations.
