In China, elongated versions of various models have been held in high esteem for many years. There it is a sign of the owner’s status. And knowing such features of the local mentality, BMW rolled out a fifth series sedan with an extended wheelbase. It should attract the Chinese not only with dimensions, but also with rich equipment. Maybe we will see this four-door in Russia.
The main innovation on the ceiling: a huge screen with a diagonal of 31.3 inches was installed behind the headrests of the front seats. The same is in the flagship “seven”. The resolution of the monitor is 8K, it supports 5G networks and the Bowers & Wilkins audio system provides surround sound. A real car cinema!
Marketers included a panoramic roof, four-zone climate control and two-tone seat upholstery in the basic equipment of the new “five”. As for the decorative elements, they are designed taking into account Chinese preferences.
At the moment it is known that the BMW 5 Series will be sold in the local market with both classic petrol engines (“diesel” are not popular in China) and electric vehicles. They can be distinguished by the number 5 on the C-pillar. On ICE cars it is white and on electric cars it is blue.
It is not known how many centimeters the four-door has been extended. Let’s assume it’s not much. Indeed, in this case it would be necessary to carry out additional certification tests and a series of tests at the test site. And in the end we express the hope that the novelty will come to us through parallel imports. In Russia there will certainly be buyers for it.
