The BMW New Class (German: Neue Klasse) was a line of sedans and coupes produced by German automaker BMW between 1962 and 1977. These models ensured BMW's solvency after the company's financial crisis of the 1950s and established the identity of BMW automobiles as sports sedans. The 02 Series (especially the 2002) caught auto enthusiasts' attention and established BMW as an international brand.

Cars built on this platform are the 00 Series 4-door sedans (1500, 1800, 1600, 2000), the 2000C/2000CS coupés, and the 02 Series two door sedans (1602, 2002, 1802, 1502). It is difficult to differentiate between the models in low resolution pictures.

The first New Class vehicle was the 1500, a 4-door compact executive car with the new M10 (at the time called M115) OHC 4-cylinder engine. In 1965, the 2000C and 2000CS luxury coupés were added to the range. In 1966, the 1600-2 (later renamed 1602) 2-door economy sedans were released.
