The wheelbase of the BMW 525 is 3105mm. Below is an introduction to the 2021 525Li M Sport Package BMW 5 Series: 1. Powertrain: Equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder B48B20C engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission. 2. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height are 5106mm, 1868mm, and 1500mm respectively. 3. Chassis: The drivetrain is front-engine rear-wheel drive, with a front suspension of double-wishbone independent suspension and a rear suspension of multi-link independent suspension, featuring a unibody structure.
I remember very clearly that the wheelbase of the BMW 525 is 3105mm. This figure is outstanding among its peers, especially the exceptionally spacious rear legroom—crossing your legs is absolutely no problem. I've ridden in a friend's 525Li, and during long trips, you can almost recline in the back seat with over two fists of space between your knees and the front seats. Cars with longer wheelbases have more stable chassis, exhibiting less body roll during corners, though the turning radius tends to be larger, requiring a couple more steering adjustments in tight U-turns. Compared to the Mercedes E300L in the same class (3079mm), the BMW 525 offers an extra 26mm in wheelbase and can still fit three suitcases in the trunk. However, parking such a long car does test your skills, so opting for the 360-degree camera is highly recommended.
