What is the square below the BMW headlight?

The square below the BMW headlight is reserved for future upgrades. It can accommodate a headlight cleaning device, leaving space so that the car body doesn't need to be replaced later, saving costs. Meaning of headlights: As the eyes of a car, headlights not only relate to the external image of a car owner but are also closely linked to safe driving at night or under bad weather conditions. The use and maintenance of headlights are particularly important. How to use headlights: Headlights are divided into high beam and low beam. Generally, low beam is used when driving on well-lit urban roads, and high beam should not be used. High beam can be used on rural roads without street lights, but when encountering oncoming traffic or being overtaken by a vehicle behind, it should be promptly switched to low beam to prevent the glare from high beam affecting others.
I've noticed many BMW owners are curious about the small square under the headlights. Actually, it's most commonly the nozzle cover for the headlight cleaning system. Normally, it appears as a small square that seamlessly blends with the bodywork—so well that you might mistake it for a decorative element if you don't look closely. When you activate the headlight cleaning function, such as by holding down the windshield washer for a few seconds, this little square flips open like a Transformer with a snap, and then the spray nozzle extends with a 'swoosh' to clean the headlight lens. This feature is particularly useful in winter when there's snow or during long trips with lots of mud, helping to maintain the brightness of the lights. Of course, not all models have it; it's more commonly found in higher trims or those with adaptive headlights. The design is truly ingenious—almost invisible when not in use.
