BMW’s new car with “extra large nostrils” was exposed, and netizens said: It’s so ugly!

The BMW kidney grille is one of the company's most iconic elements. As models are updated, the BMW kidney grille has also evolved further. The grille area of ​​the new BMW X7 and the new 7 Series is larger than before. The model is much larger, so many netizens said they couldn't look directly at the "extra large nostrils". At the Frankfurt Motor Show last September, BMW brought a concept model - a concept version of the new 4 Series two-door coupe. The car's double-kidney grille was called the "largest nostrils in history." Many netizens said they "can't stand it." ". Now, pictures of the production version of the new generation BMW 4 Series have been exposed, and it is basically certain that the 2021 4 Series will become the most topical product. According to overseas media exposure, the new generation of BMW 4 Series will fully absorb the design elements of the new 4 Series concept car unveiled at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, especially the exaggerated kidney grille, which will be retained in the production car. Judging from the actual car picture, the headlight set of the new car does not use the open-eye headlight design popularized by BMW today. The headlight set and the grille are independently separated, and the headlight shape continues the classic four-round light angel eye. The most distinctive feature is the exaggerated kidney grille. The two vertical grilles are almost connected into one body. The size is the largest in the history of BMW models and is unforgettable. BMW has really let itself go this time, which is also the most controversial aspect. The new BMW 4 Series continues the coupe shape of the two-door fastback. The new car is built on the CLAR platform. Currently, this platform architecture has given birth to the fourth-generation BMW X5, the new-generation 3 Series, the BMW X7 and other models. At the rear, the new car's taillights adopt a unique light strip design, and the overall look is highly similar to the BMW 8 Series. At the same time, air guide grooves are added on both sides of the rear bumper to provide heat dissipation for the brakes, further enhancing the sporty look of the car. In addition, based on the concept car, the new 4 Series may adopt a bilateral exhaust layout with two outlets in the future. In terms of power, according to foreign media reports, the new 4 Series will provide different engines for consumers in different countries to choose from. Among them, there are 2.0T four-cylinder engines and 3.0T inline six-cylinder engines, with maximum powers of 258 horsepower and 388 horsepower respectively, and peak torques of 400 N·m and 500 N·m respectively. The new BMW M4 to be launched simultaneously in the future will be equipped with an S58 series 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 480 horsepower and a peak torque of 599 Nm. In terms of transmission system, it is matched with an 8AT gearbox from ZF. It is worth noting that due to the huge size of the grille, it is basically confirmed that the license plate frame is placed in the center of the grille from the actual car picture. Regarding this giant double-kidney grille in history, some netizens said, "It's so ugly that I can't stand it." Others thought that maybe they got used to it just by looking at it. BMW's kidney grille is one of the company's most iconic elements. The highly recognizable design has always been an integral part of the luxury brand. BMW's new breakthrough in design will arouse consumer disgust. , or starting a design trend?
