Hofmeister kink isn't completely absent. However, I do agree it'd look better if they could have lengthened the top slope a bit more and flattened out the bottom of the window so it doesn't curve upward as much past the C-Pillar...This would have accentuated the kink more, drawn nicely on the line coming off the top of the trunk, and been very close to how they implemented it on the F32.



I suppose there's a little of the Crosstour appearance in that small portion of the car, but the F34's lines are much more elegant and its likeness to the Crosstour is overplayed IMO. In real life, the difference is even more apparent.
