It’s almost time for BMW’s 5-Series range of sedans, Touring and GT models to receive their mid-cycle facelift, which could explain the appearance of an undisguised 2014MY 535Li on Chinese website Auto163.

For those of you wondering, the 535Li is a long-wheelbase version of the regular F10 sedan that measures 5,039mm or 198-inches long, designed and built at BMW‘s Shenyang plant in China, exclusively for the local market.

Since there are no other styling differences between the current LWB 5-Series and the F10s sold in the rest of the world, we can only assume that the minor cosmetic upgrades seen on this model will be shared with the regular wheelbase version.

These include a redesigned from bumper with trim details similar to those found on the latest 3-Series, new headlamp fixtures and a new rear apron with rectangular-shaped instead of round exhaust pipes. Some subtle enhancements are expected inside as well.
