BMW had no plans to develop 5er LWB until they saw a huge success of Audi A6 LWB - a model that is responsible for skyrocketing Audi sales in China. Now also BMW are finally entering the real game in Chinese market ...
Why wouldn't it be viable in other places in the world other than China?

Well, let me attempt to answer my own question... I think the price disparity between the A6/5 and the A8/7 is very large, so that makes it sensible to get LWB versions of the A6 and 5 Series.
