The length of the BMW 320li is 4753mm, with a width and height of 1811mm and 1455mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2920mm. In terms of exterior design, the BMW 320li comes standard with newly designed LED headlights. The front bumper features additional chrome trim at the lower section, while the rear showcases sharp and flowing character lines extending from the headlights to the taillights. The C-pillar is adorned with a Z-shaped chrome trim, enhancing the 3 Series' dynamic appeal. Under the hood, the BMW 320li is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 135kw and a peak torque of 270nm.

I've been closely following the detailed specifications of BMW models. The BMW 320Li has a length of 4,838 millimeters, which converts to approximately 4.84 meters. This size is considered medium-large in its class, especially with the extended wheelbase that enhances the sense of space. From my personal test drive experience, the rear legroom feels significantly more spacious, comfortably accommodating five people when going out with friends or family. The longer wheelbase also contributes to better stability at high speeds and reduces body roll during turns. However, extra caution is needed when parking, though the reverse radar assists well. I think BMW has struck a good balance between sportiness and practicality in its design, such as maintaining good weight control without the fuel consumption skyrocketing like some other lengthened cars. Overall, the 4.84-meter length is very suitable for both family and business use.

As someone who frequently discusses cars on forums, the BMW 320Li has a body length of approximately 4.84 meters. In terms of driving experience, the extended dimensions make the car more comfortable, especially for rear passengers during long trips, reducing fatigue. Compared to the standard 320i's 4.7 meters, it is about 14 centimeters longer, resulting in slightly different handling—a larger turning radius at low speeds, though BMW's tuning still retains much of the sporty feel. I've tested it on the highway, and the car exhibits strong stability with precise body control. This reminds me of its rival, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which has similar dimensions. Another benefit of the longer wheelbase is a slightly larger trunk capacity, making it more convenient for luggage. Overall, this design reflects BMW's adaptation to the Chinese market.

I've researched multiple generations of the BMW 3 Series. The 320Li measures 4,838 mm (approximately 4.84 meters) in length. Historically, the earliest E30 generation from the 1980s was only 4.3 meters long, growing to 4.5 meters with the E90 generation. Modern models have increased in size primarily to meet space requirements. This lengthening reflects shifting consumer trends: people now prioritize ride comfort, yet BMW has maintained handling agility through clever engineering. In real-world driving, it feels slightly cumbersome in urban areas, though safety assistance systems compensate well. Regarding safety, the longer body provides greater crumple zones for improved crash protection. I believe this generation of BMW has done an excellent job without sacrificing core driving pleasure.

Owners of the BMW 320Li are well aware that its length is approximately 4.84 meters, which proves highly practical for daily use. From an economic standpoint, the larger size leads to a slight increase in fuel consumption, but BMW's turbocharged engines are highly efficient, with real-world combined fuel consumption measured at 8-9L, which is quite reasonable. Finding a spacious parking spot can be a bit challenging, but the automatic parking system performs admirably. The space advantage is evident, with ample legroom in the rear seats, making weekend trips with the whole family a breeze. Compared to the Volkswagen Passat at 4.87 meters, the BMW offers greater agility. The increase in body weight is negligible, and maintenance costs show no significant change. Every time I use it, I feel it's worth it, striking a perfect balance between comfort and convenience.
