Is There a Big Difference Between BMW 3 Series and 5 Series?

[GeorgeLynn]

Differences between BMW 3 Series and BMW 5 Series: 1. Exterior: The main difference lies in the front bumper. The 5 Series features a continuous, elongated one-piece front bumper, while the 3 Series' front bumper is divided into three sections, with the middle part being the largest, designed to harmonize with the kidney grille. 2. Body Dimensions: The 5 Series measures 5087mm in length, 1868mm in width, and 1500mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3108mm. The 3 Series measures 4650mm in length, 1811mm in width, and 1454mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2810mm. 3. Interior: The only difference is that the 5 Series comes with a GPS navigation system, while the 3 Series does not. However, the 3 Series supports WiFi connectivity, which compensates for the lack of a GPS navigation system. 4. Powertrain: In terms of the transmission system, the 5 Series is equipped with an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission across all models, and BMW also offers a four-wheel-drive system for some variants. The 2.0T engine version delivers a maximum power of 165kW (224PS) and a maximum torque of 310N·m. The 3 Series offers a choice between 1.5T and 2.0T engines with different power outputs.
