Bootstrap 4 - how to set the width of navbar item (select box)

I'd like to add a drop-down list to the navbar and can't figure out how to make it wider. Here is what I actually have:

  <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar navbar-dark bg-dark">

  <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarTogglerDemo01" aria-controls="navbarTogglerDemo01" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">

    <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>

  </button>

  <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarTogglerDemo01">

    <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Hidden brand</a>

    <ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">

      <li class="nav-item active">

        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>

      </li>

      <li class="nav-item">

        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a>

      </li>

      <li class="nav-item">

        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricing</a>

      </li>

    </ul>

    <nav class="navbar-nav mx-auto">

      <select>

        <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>

        <option value="saab">Saab</option>

        <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>

        <option value="audi">Audi</option>

        <option value="looooong">VeeeeeeeryLooooongVeeehicle</option>

      </select>

    </nav>

    <ul class="navbar-nav">

      <li class="nav-item dropdown">

        <a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdownMenuLink" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">

          Dropdown

        </a>

        <div class="dropdown-menu ml-auto" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdownMenuLink">

          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action-1</a>

          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action-2</a>

          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action-3</a>

        </div>

    </ul>

  </div>

</nav>

Finally, it seems like the select item adapts itself to the longest item it contains.

Yes, it does.. so how wide are you trying to make it?

I’d like it to be centered and take 1/3 of the space between the brand name and the very right-end element of the navbar.
