Is the BMW Li domestically produced or imported?
2 Answers
BMW Li is domestically produced, with models including the BMW 320Li, BMW 525Li, BMW 330Li, BMW 530Li, and BMW 730Li, among others. Taking the 2021 BMW 320Li as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category with the following dimensions: length 4719mm, width 1827mm, height 1459mm, wheelbase 2851mm, fuel tank capacity 60 liters, trunk capacity 460 liters, and curb weight 1465kg. The 2021 BMW 320Li is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 156PS, maximum power of 115kW, maximum torque of 250Nm, and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Oh, speaking of BMW Li models, I've done some research on them, mainly because they're quite common in the Chinese market. Models like the BMW 3 Series Li and 5 Series Li with the Li designation are mostly domestically produced, manufactured by BMW Brilliance in local factories—that joint venture setup. Imported BMWs, on the other hand, are often sports cars or high-end series like the 7 Series or X5, which come with a higher price tag. The Li stands for long wheelbase, designed to better suit Chinese road conditions, offering more comfortable seating and better fuel efficiency. Choosing the domestically produced Li version offers good value for money, and daily maintenance is more convenient since parts and service networks are locally available. If you have a generous budget, considering the imported version for an authentic German driving experience is nice, but honestly, the domestic versions are already reliable and more than adequate for daily driving.
