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.

 

BMW will offer the vehicle in a Luxury Line trim level, which features Nappa leather, Bowers & Wilkins audio system, two 10.25-inch screens mounted on the front headrests, and a tablet integrated into the rear armrest serving as a control center for most of the car’s infotainment functions.

 

Three gasoline engines will be offered. Two 2.0-liter turbos, generating 224 horsepower (165 kilowatts) and 252 hp (185 kW) respectively in the 525 Li and 530 Li, and a larger 3.0-liter turbo with 340 hp (250 kW) in the 540 Li. All they will work exclusively with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, sending power to the rear wheels.

 

In addition to the Luxury Line trim, the new 5 Series Li will be available with an optional M Sport aerodynamic package. It comes with all the usual M Sport bits, including different bumpers, larger wheels, side skirts, and a rear diffuser.

 

According to CarNewsChina, the 5 Series Li will hit the Chinese market in Q3 of 2017 with prices ranging from 450,000 to 750,000 yuan (approximately $65,300 – $108,715 at the current exchange rates).
