BMW 5 Series Li Long Wheelbase Version Revealed For China

BMW will use the upcoming 2017 Auto Shanghai to present the newest addition to its Chinese lineup. The 5 Series Li is a long wheelbase version of the premium sedan that will be, at least initially, offered exclusively in the People's Republic.

Longer by 5.2 inches (13.3 centimeters) than the standard 5 Series, the new Li version is lightly shorter than the 7 Series. All the extra space will go for the passengers at the back, which will now benefit from additional leg room.

Its common in China and other parts of Asia to employ a driver. The long wheel base makes it more comfortable for the owner who is being chauffeured around.
