Loosing the Hoffmeister kink is loosing the BMW identity.
Lexus has already copied the Hof Kink...if BMW gets rid of it then all the Lexus fan boys will say that BMW is copying Lexus. LOL

As you can see Scott just says CGI above is wrong showing Hof's kink formed by third side window behind the door window. He explains that such detail is wrong since the kink is actually a part of door window on the actual 6er GT. As eg. seen on many other BMW cars (sedans)

Firstly, he isn't talking about the F13 6er cabrio, but about the GT variant of the 6er. 6er cabrio will have Hofmeister Kink, and 6er coupé and GT too for that matter.
Secondly, Scott said that the Hofmeister won't be in the C-pillar on the 6er GT, but will be a part of the door design.

So relax, every BMW will have the BMW trademark design elements in one way or the other

On the other hand, I am really wishing for the suicide doors! They will definitely add more excitement to the design.
