The New Class was a single generation of sedans and coupes. In 1960 Herbert and Harald Quandt invested heavily in BMW and gained a controlling interest in the company, and the team was to produce a new car with a new engine, which BMW had not done since the 303 in 1933. The prototype was introduced in September 1961 at the Frankfurt Motor Show as the BMW 1500 four door saloon, alongside the BMW 3200 CS. Its model years run from 1962 to 1972.
