At Fields BMW Northfield, we know that the car market is rapidly evolving. More drivers are looking for crossovers. Others are looking for new green vehicles. Fortunately, no matter what you're looking for, there will always be a BMW car out there for you. This brand is adapting to the times and continues to innovate, and part of that includes the development of a new platform for building vehicles. From 2020 on, every single new BMW car will be built using the same flexible platform.

First, it might help you to know what a car platform is. Simply put, it's a set of common design and engineering standards that are shared between different kinds of vehicles. A platform also includes many major components. By using this kind of flexible architecture, an automaker can save money while building many distinct vehicles. That means that you pay less for an incredible vehicle once it arrives on a dealership's lot.

By using just one versatile platform, the BMW brand can save on development costs. It can also adapt quickly to the changing tides of the market. Starting in 2020 every single model will be built on this platform. The next-generation BMW X5, the next edition of the stylish BMW 5 Series, and every other vehicle will be designed on the same platform. Even advanced green vehicles like the upcoming BMW i5 will be built using this new architecture. We look forward to seeing what other types of new innovations the BMW brand comes up with in the next few years.

So when you're looking for a new luxury car that's been designed with care, make our Chicagoland BMW dealership your first stop. Our BMW dealers in Northfield, IL are ready to answer your questions about new and upcoming models. We hope to see you soon for a test drive!
