I don't know about China, but here in India space is everything. The bigger the car is, the higher you're in society, unless you're driving a super car.

Asians,especially in China, that can afford to buy a new 3 series BMW can also afford to have a chauffer. Hence the desirability of a LWB version of the 3 series in this market. Audi was first to offer an A6 LWB in China a few years back. Most high end european sedans in Asia are chauffer driven. This is a more affordable yet comfortable alternative to the bigger 5 or 7 series.
