The door gaps were actually designed to flow with the A-pillar, and the rear end of the door is designed to look like an elegant swoop.

And on your circled example, the rear folding line flows with the rear window, and the line at the base of the top flows with the bottom of the side windows, same as the door cutline "flows" with the A pillar (and yet the door cutline completely cuts across the horizontal bodyline, thus not "flowing" any more than the roof cuts do).
And the notch still flows, to my designer eyes, as well as the notch on the 6 series or my 7 series, or the roof on a E36 coupe. And if those are too blocky, then it flows no worse then the roofline on a say, '69 Camaro:
Swoopy and curvy.
