The differences between the BMW 3 Series and 5 Series are reflected in multiple aspects, mainly in their positioning, power, and interior. BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke AG), fully known as Bavarian Motor Works in Chinese, is a German automotive brand founded in 1916 and headquartered in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. The blue and white logo of BMW represents the colors of the Bavarian state flag. Main differences between the 3 Series and 5 Series: Different Positioning: The 3 Series is a sporty B-segment car, while the 5 Series is a luxury C-segment car. They are not in the same class, but with the continuous increase in new model data, the difference in body size between the 3 Series and 5 Series has become smaller than before. Different Power: The BMW 5 Series has a body size of 5106mm*1868mm*1500mm, a top speed of 250km/h, NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.7-7.2L, and a fuel tank capacity of 68L. The 530Li engine model is B48B20D, with a displacement of 2.0L, maximum power of 185kw, maximum torque of 350nm, and an 8AT automatic transmission. The front suspension is a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. The BMW 3 Series has a body size of 4829mm*1827mm*1463mm, a top speed of 235km/h, NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.1-7.6L, and a fuel tank capacity of 59L.

The front suspension is a double-joint spring strut, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension.
