BMW's new LWB 3-series 12 | 04 | 2012

BMW WILL LIFT the wraps from a new long-wheelbase version of its BMW 3-series. But the model, which will be shown at the Beijing Motor Show later this month, is exclusively for the Chinese market.

The 3-series wheelbase has been increased by 110mm over the standard car (pictured), and will be available as a BMW 335Li, 328Li, or 320Li. It will be built in China’s new Shenyang production plant.

Alongside the long-wheelbase version, the German manufacturer will also show the BMW 3-series ActiveHybrid 3 at the show.
