BMW launched its Neue Klasse platform this week with an expanded portfolio of active safety assistance systems now standard across multiple model series. This is the first time the automaker has made this move at scale. It signals where the entire industry is heading.
BMW's Neue Klasse marks a structural shift: active safety features are no longer options. They're embedded as standard across multiple series. This isn't one model or one market. It's the baseline for a major platform launch. Expect Audi, Mercedes, VW, and others to follow within 18 months. Shops that still estimate ADAS as optional add-ons will start losing money on denials and scope creep.
