Hello everyone,
Maybe it's old news, but I guess it's still interesting to find more different types of E60 all around the world.
Since 2006, the BMW E60 in China was re-desinged and after that, all the models, pre or pro LCI become 15CM longer in wheelbase compare to original E60, to a total car length of 4920mm. the increase of rear seat space is a plus, but the loss of handling due to Longer and Heavier car body is a minus. in China, E60 models r of 523Li, 525Li, 530Li or M5 and 550i (imported from germany, still the original length).
here're some pictures of a tuned E60 525Li in China.
Very nice to meet everyone here in this forums, learned a lot~

funny, Chinese people are usually shorter than Germans (and Dutch) but apparently a lot more practical as they lengthen their cars and we do not.
Any other differences in the car except for length? And where are they assembled? (in other words: can I get one here in Europe?)
