Other than the obvious more leg room at the rear couple of things different that I noticed:

1) This does have illuminated door sills, whereas the regular 5 series has no door sills at all.

2) You can control the sunroof shade through button on the rear climate control screen

3) The front seat backrest is leather covered and has stitching

4) The rear armrest is much better with storage and integrated cupholders

5) Each of the headrests get their own pillow for additional comfort.

Let me know if you noticed any other changes.

Looks like the long wheel base version similar to what is sold in China. If so, it might have other options like the theater screen and other 7-series features and options.

IN China,A lot of People said that the design of G68 is too bad,so you can change them into black. For example, I
There is only one cup holder in G68(only for Chinese Version/India is two), and the other one has been changed to a wireless charging pad.

These are the official declaration information for G68(i5&5 Li) in China, and the styles of the wheels are very diverse;The huge screen is an optional accessory, priced at approximately 30000 RMB, equivalent to approximately 4200 USD,so most of consumers won't choose to install it, it looks a bit foolish and impractical.

Standard in the top models, but you can spend $300 to install it by yourself.

That roof illumination is certainly making a statement.

The North American market rear cup holders look positively pedestrian in comparison to these.

It's so weird how these vehicles change from market to market. And many of these are things that aren't "high dollar" differences.

It’s not North American market. The upholders for the regular wheelbase is the basic one but the long wheelbase versions gets the premium ones. So basically India and China.
