What are the differences between BMW long wheelbase and short wheelbase?

[LeColton]

BMW long wheelbase and short wheelbase differences: 1. Different rear badges: The long wheelbase version has "Brilliance BMW" and "320Li" logos embedded on the rear, while the short wheelbase version only has "320i", which is the most obvious distinguishing feature between the two models. 2. Differences in exhaust pipes: The short wheelbase version's exhaust pipes match the rear bumper trim with a black piano lacquer finish. The long wheelbase version follows the same design but uses metal chrome plating. 3. Interior differences: The dashboard, steering wheel, and instrument cluster designs are identical between long and short wheelbase versions. The main difference lies in the sport package versus luxury package options: two distinctly different style packages applied to the same interior design create different atmospheres. A red interior trim strip runs across the entire dashboard, matching the key color of the short wheelbase version, while the long wheelbase version maintains the traditional metal chrome design without losing its luxurious feel. 4. Functional differences: The button layouts are the same, but the long wheelbase test vehicle is the base configuration, so it's slightly inferior in functionality compared to the short wheelbase BMW 3 Series. 5. Significant door section differences: The new BMW extended 3 Series benefits from its longer wheelbase - the 2920mm wheelbase significantly improves rear seat space. Seat materials and functions come as "standard across all models", and beyond comfort, the long wheelbase 3 Series also features front seat adjustment functions, providing even more space for rear passengers.
