It was an honest mistake. We published several articles on the Kink Like this one

I won’t even comment on the attacks, that’s your opinion and you clearly don’t know who we are.

Thanks for the correction though, it has been fixed

“Hoffmeister Kick as featured on the 7er and X1″ Badly misspelt and misfacted. The hofmeister kink has been featured on BMWs since the late 60s, tools.

Its hofmeister kink not “Hoffmeister Kick”… Sad. Is this blog run by the lowered off-lease M3 spoiled-brown-kids generation or something?

Any idea what suspension features we’ll see on the F30, along the lines of the 5-series’ hydraulic compensations on the rear sway bar?

Audi is already offering magnetically-controlled dampeners on low-end vehicles and some kind of roll/squat/dive stabilization (probably using the former). A comparison of bmw and audi in this month’s R&T describes the difference this makes, and… actually this is one of my major complaints about the current sport suspension — it has a rubbery bounciness to it that they need to counteract.

To clarify. I wasn’t saying there’s anything to see, I just think it’s hilarious that what’s only good enough to use as camouflage on a BMW is good enough for production on a VW. I do currently drive a VW, and it’s nothing like the BMW’s I’ve owned.

Does anyone else think it’s hilarious that the tail-lights on BMW’s test mules are the same as on a VW Jetta. Check the 1:27 mark.

Whoa, check out that massive fat guy leaving from the rear seat, was he selected especially to test the rear leg room for the new 3 series, or advertisment for bmw to show there is sufficient room in the back for passengers?
