In the pictures we see the long version available only in China, specifically a BMW 535Li. During this extended 5 Series will continue to be reserved for the Chinese, we pay better attention to the changes to the front: the pursuit of the double-acting three-dimensional kidney future have a slight bend at the top, the front bumper has been redesigned with additional chrome clasps and the headlights get a new interior.
