BMW unveiled its 5-Series G30 long-wheelbase model at the Shanghai Auto Show back in 2017, promoting a stretched-out aesthetic that ultimately gave you an extra 5.2 inches (133 mm) compared to the regular model.

During that event, it was announced that the 5-Series LWB would be available in standard, Luxury Line and M Sport trim, which we suspect could still be the case with this updated variant.

Images depicting the China-only facelifted 5-Series LWB surfaced today on Autohome, and in terms of styling changes, we’re basically looking at the same car that was leaked two weeks ago in EU-spec, only longer.

At least two different trim levels are shown in the image below, one of them being the M Sport variant. It features a sportier-looking front bumper, larger wheels and a more pronounced rear diffuser. The white car however seems to have gotten the matte black Shadowline treatment, as opposed to the two Phytonic Blue Metallic examples.

In terms of size, the previously-mentioned 3,105 mm (122.2 inch) wheelbase stretches beneath the 5,106 mm long exterior, while the 1,868 mm (73.5 inch) width of the car remains unchanged.

Also still available is the optional Sky Lounge panoramic glass roof, and we suspect that many, if not all other optional extras have been carried over from the initial model.

This means customers might still be able to opt for active ventilated seats, individual rear seats with an electrically adjustable backrest, the Ambient Air package, plus a Touch Command tablet that you use to control the rear seats and the infotainment system.

As for engines, the Chinese outlet only mentions the 530Le variant, which is powered by a plug-in hybrid drivetrain combining a turbocharged gasoline unit with a small electric motor.

BMW’s facelifted 5-Series LWB will be built at the BMW-Brilliance plant in Shenyang, China, and could arrive in showrooms in the coming months.
