Talk:Hofmeister kink

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What is the role of the Hofmeister kink? Is it (like the kidney grille) decorative/distinctive? Or does it serve an aerodynamic or other function? --Interiot 17:20, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

No function; it's a styling gimmick. WQ59B 22:49, 13 November 2006 (UTC)WQ59B

[edit] Which year is correct?

One of the years listed is inaccurate. BabuBhatt 23:55, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RWD?

"Aside from its pleasing visual effect, the Hofmeister kink subtly highlights that all BMW models have rear-wheel drive (or all-wheel drive biased to the rear)."

How and why does the kink show that it is RWD? 71.125.123.130

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. My FWD Accord has that. Deleted. (And added a category) Andy Christ 18:29, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Reintroduced, re-worded ("said by BMW"), with BMW US website source. Jayen466 23:11, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I still don't get where BMW got that from, I don't look at it and think, "OMG, it's RWD!" Meh. 71.243.206.213

Well, that's advertising for you. You create ideas that weren't there before. ;-) Jayen466 00:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
