In this video, we take an informative look at the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe Long Wheelbase—internally known as the F78, in contrast to the global F74 version. This stretched sedan is more than just a variant; it’s a successor to the often-overlooked BMW 1 Series Sedan.
Built specifically for markets that prioritize rear seat comfort, the F78 rides on a wheelbase that’s 4.3 inches (110 mm) longer than the standard version, bringing it to 109.4 inches (2780 mm). That’s nearly identical to the first generation E23 7 Series! And with an overall length of 183.5 inches (4663 mm), it even surpasses the E28 5 Series in size.
We’ll compare dimensions, discuss its positioning in BMW’s lineup, and highlight how this entry-level sedan channels luxury proportions once reserved for flagship models. If you’re curious about how BMW adapts to regional market needs, this overview is a must-watch.
