Which BMW Series Has the Pig Nose Grille?
2 Answers
BMW's pig nose grille belongs to the 4 Series, which includes 4-door models. The BMW 4 Series lineup consists of coupe hardtop versions, convertible models, and 4-door hardtop variants. The BMW 4 Series is equipped with either a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine or a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Relevant specifications are as follows: 1. Low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine: Delivers 184 horsepower and 300 Nm of maximum torque. This engine reaches peak power at 5,000-6,500 rpm and maximum torque at 1,350-4,000 rpm. It features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head/block. 2. High-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine: Produces 258 horsepower and 400 Nm of maximum torque. This engine achieves peak power at 5,000-6,500 rpm and maximum torque at 1,550-4,400 rpm. It also employs direct fuel injection technology with an aluminum alloy cylinder head/block.
The term "BMW pig nose" refers to those BMW models with large kidney grille designs in recent years. It started with the X7, whose oversized double kidney grilles looked like a pig's nose, hence the nickname. Later, the new 4 Series adopted this style as well, featuring two massive vertical grilles that are particularly eye-catching. Once, while getting my car serviced at a dealership, I saw a new 7 Series parked nearby—its grille was so exaggeratedly large it resembled a shield, and when the lights turned on, it had a very futuristic feel. Some people find this design too aggressive, while others think it’s quite distinctive. Either way, if you see this kind of front end on the road, chances are it’s a BMW flagship or sporty model. If you spot such large "nostrils" on a sedan or SUV, it’s basically BMW flexing its muscles.
