My G28 3 Series LWB impressions

I just get a chance to look at a G28 3 series in China and I am slightly disappointed. The car is brutally stretched.

Having tried US spec 330 and m340, I think G20 rear seat is nowhere comparable to G28. My initial impression about G28 rear seat is the extended and softened seat pad. I tried to look for a standard wheel based G20 but it is not in the showroom yet, and the overall sitting experience is identical to the F90 M5 next to me except M5 has more backseat angle.

Here are the differences I noticed comparing to G20:
Approximately 5 inches longer
More interior metal parts
Softened and extended rear seat pads
Larger moonroof
Cancellation of the driver-side storage box
Cancellation of folding rear seats

Although I personally dislike the extended 3 series, it is a good choice for people who want to have a family sedan with a little bit of sportiness, and that is why the long wheel base modification more popular than the standard wheel base in China. However, I am slightly disappointed about BMW's cancellation of the storage box and the folding back seats which contradict to the purpose of a family sedan.

How do you think about G28?

This isn't the first time folding rear seats haven't been available in a BMW 3 Series.
