Spied: 2012 BMW 3-series Long Wheelbase (335Li)

The BMW 3-Series long-wheelbase version will only be available to the Chinese market and is scheduled to be launched in April to anticipated consumers. Fortunately Chinese website Autohome has managed to snag a few pictures of a development model and have presented them for all the world to see.

The 335Li pictured here shares the same platform as the upcoming BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo, it has a little extra leg room over the regular 3-series sedan and is designed to be used primarily as a chauffeur car.

Expect to see the long-wheelbase model unveiled for the first time at the Beijing Auto Show.
