Those who are already familiar with previous generations of the model might notice that the new car has preserved the features of the F10 body. However, the body became 5.5 cm longer. Its total length currently accounts for 491 cm. At first glance, it might seem that such modernization doesn’t matter much. Nevertheless, it enabled the German designers to significantly increase the volume of the trunk. Moreover, the wheelbase acquired 7.5 cm, and it means that the new BMW has become not only longer, but also wider. As for the height of the car, it lost in this regard, although it’s for the better. Due to this design solution, the car’s exterior has become even more sporting and aggressive. In addition, the vehicle has become more stable due to better traction.
