Due to demand from Asian markets, where many 5-series cars are used as chauffeur driven limos, BMW is building a long-wheelbase version of the popular mid-sized sedan. The first pictures of such a model have turned up on the Chinese ChinaBMW forum, and clearly show the lengthened 5-series from the interior, if not the exterior. From the shots you can see that the long 5-series has a tray table for rear passengers, as well as extra legroom, and more entertainment options.
