Also ... many BMW models (X3, X5, tourings etc) have "sticking mini C-pillars" and no complaints have been made till now.
Yeah but that's because on the other models, the "sticking mini C-pillar" does not make the glass area so busy as it does in the X6, as pointed by some of the guys.

As for an example on how it can be done when the C-pillar is raked like on the X6 (or the CLS), we will see it done on the upcoming Audi A7.
