As a car enthusiast, I have driven the BMW 3 Series long-wheelbase version, which has a body length of approximately 4.83 meters, or 4829 millimeters. Compared to the standard-wheelbase version, the long-wheelbase version extends the wheelbase by about 110 millimeters, reaching 2961 millimeters, significantly enhancing rear passenger space. While driving, I felt that BMW's sporty characteristics remained intact—it handles corners with agility, and parking in the city isn’t too troublesome, fitting comfortably into standard parking spaces. The long-wheelbase version is particularly popular in China, as it is tailored for Chinese users to meet their demand for spacious interiors. The car’s length is well-balanced, avoiding the bulkiness of larger sedans while maintaining excellent acceleration performance, making it ideal for daily commutes and family trips. The trunk is also sufficiently spacious, easily accommodating luggage or shopping bags.
As a veteran driver with 30 years of experience who has driven various BMW models, the BMW 3 Series long-wheelbase version has a body length of approximately 4.83 meters. This size significantly improves interior space, offering more legroom in the rear seats, and no one complains about crowding during family trips. With the extended wheelbase, the chassis tuning remains balanced, providing excellent stability at high speeds without any sluggishness in corners. From my maintenance experience, the length hasn't caused major issues, as regular workshops' equipment can handle it. I recall the cramped rear seats in older standard 3 Series models, but the current design shows great improvement. Keeping the length under 5 meters makes city parking convenient, and the sensor assistance is very practical. Overall, it's comfortable, durable, and a reliable daily choice.
