BMW To Debut 3-Series Long Wheelbase In Beijing

BMW at Auto China 2012 in Beijing: World premiere – the new BMW 3 Series sedan in the long wheelbase version.

Developed at BMW head office in Germany, it will be rolling off the production line in the new Shenyang production plant and celebrating its world premiere at Auto China 2012 in Beijing – the new BMW 3 Series sedan in the long wheelbase version. With its wheelbase extended by 11 cm, a conspicuously elegant design, and the best rear seat travel comfort among the competition, this new model fulfils precisely the expectations of Chinese automobile customers. They can choose from the BMW 335Li, the BMW 328Li, or the BMW 320Li, each fitted with a powerful and efficient engine featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology. Also presented at Auto China will be the new BMW 3 Series sedan with the normal wheelbase and the full hybrid model BMW ActiveHybrid 3.

Why are companies offing ewb versions of their cars in the asian market? I don't see why one would get a long 3 instead of a 5? or why the need for an extended rear is needed or desired. Could someone explain why they are heavily desired in the asian market?

I bet you`ve never sat in the new one yet

no lwb M3 to come

@slord

prolly because of high taxes it`s way cheaper to get a lwb 3er than a standard 5er if you need a spacious sedan

Doesn't look bad. The new 3-series looks great... but I don't see why the reason for it either!
