Does BMW i mean imported?
1 Answers
BMW i does not mean imported. BMW's 3, 5, and 7 series are divided into two versions: standard wheelbase and extended wheelbase. The standard version is labeled with 'i', while the extended version is labeled with 'Li'. The imported 7 series models are all extended wheelbase versions, hence the 'Li' suffix. Methods to distinguish between imported and domestically produced cars: For the same model, check the rear of the car. If there are Chinese characters, it is domestically produced; if it is in English, it is imported. Alternatively, check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), a 17-digit code. If the first letter is not 'L', it is an imported car. Differences between domestically produced and imported cars: Some car models from certain brands are not available as domestically produced. Domestically produced cars refer to vehicles designed and manufactured by Chinese people, with independent intellectual property rights and Chinese brands. Imported cars refer to vehicles entirely manufactured abroad and then shipped to China for sale, with no Chinese involvement in the entire process, whether in terms of technology or materials.
