Could be. That definitely falls into that category of design details I mentioned that doesn't even register on my radar. I like a good looking vehicle as much as the next guy, but I only have so much time and energy to worry about that. At some point the other parts of the car (the functional parts - the qualities that make it either good or bad at providing me transportation) take enough of my attention that the little things just become invisible.
I agree but those small details would always be on my mind and no matter what the overall outcome is with any BMW, it's always going to be the first thing that enters my mind or what I look at when I see it. The 8er Gran Coupe is an amazing car...but that "kink" absolutely ruins it for me. Small detail yes, but leaves a lasting impression and not necessarily in a good way.
The 8 GC is gorgeous. However I agree that the passenger door windows almost ruin the side profile for me. What the hell were they thinking?
