Vehicle Description
1959 BMW Isetta The Isetta is an Italian-designed microcar built
under license in a number of different countries, including
Argentina, Spain, Belgium, France, Brazil, Germany, and the United
Kingdom. Because of its egg shape and bubble-like windows, it
became known as a bubble car, a name also given to other similar
vehicles. BMW made the Isetta its own. They redesigned the
powerplant around a BMW one-cylinder, four-stroke, 247 cc
motorcycle engine which generated 10 kW (13 hp). Although the major
elements of the Italian design remained intact, BMW re-engineered
much of the car, so much so that none of the parts between a BMW
Isetta Moto Coupe and an Iso Isetta are interchangeable. The first
BMW Isetta appeared in April 1955. In May 1962, three years after
launching the conventionally modern-looking BMW 700, BMW ceased
production of Isettas. A total of 161,728 units had been built. •
