BMW slipped into Auto Shanghai with a host of concept cars we've already seen, and an amped-up version of its i7 electric flagship sedan called the M70. There's also the X1 SUV on display in BMW's booth, but the one offered in China is a bit different from those elsewhere. This year's show in Shanghai actually marks the debut of the X1 and electric iX1 long-wheelbase models.
How much longer is China's Bimmer? In profile view you likely won't see much difference, but the wheelbase increases 4 inches, up to 110.3 inches. Similarly, the overall length grows by a similar amount, stretching 181.7 inches total. With this in mind, take another look at the photos and you'll see the rear door is ever-so-slightly longer. And while it sounds like a small number overall, it does generate quite a bit more legroom in the X1's back seat.
