BMW 5 Series Long Wheel Base : Chinese lay the 5 Series on the Procrustean bed


When Procrustes laid his victims on his torture bed, he'd stretch the ones who were too short until they died, or, if they were too tall, he'd cut off their limbs as to make them short enough to fit. BMW on the other hand may have stretched it's 5 Series to fit the Chinese mentality who seem to love LWB version
s but at least they didn't "kill" it as these pictures prove.

Found on a Chinese forum called ChinaBMW forum, the images give us a glimpse of Bimmer's upcoming 5 Series LWB -or Procrustes if you prefer, that'll only be available in Asian markets. Apart from the longer wheel base, the 5-series also gets a few more goodies in the interior like a tray table for rear passengers and more entertainment options.
