HISTORY�
In 1956, the government of the Federal Republic of Germany changed
the regulations for motor vehicles. Class IV licences issued from
that time onward could only be used to operate small motorcycles
and could no longer be used to operate motor vehicles with a
capacity of less than 250�cc. At the same time, the maximum
capacity allowed for the Isetta's tax category was 300�cc. Class IV
licences issued before the change in the regulations
were�grandfathered�and allowed to be used as before.
This change in regulations encouraged BMW to revise their
Isetta�microcars. In February 1956 a 300cc engine was
introduced.�The engineers enlarged the�single cylinder�to a 72�mm
(2.8�in)�bore�and 73�mm (2.9�in)�stroke, which gave
a�displacement�of exactly 298�cc; at the same time, they raised
the�compression ratio�from 6.8 to 7.0:1. As a result, the engine
power output rose to 10�kW (13�hp) at 5200�rpm, and the torque rose
to 18.4�N�m (13.6�ft�lbf) at 4600�rpm. The maximum speed remained
at 85�km/h (53�mph), yet there was a marked increase in
flexibility, chiefly noticeable on gradients.
In October 1956, the Isetta Moto Coupe DeLuxe (sliding-window
Isetta) was introduced. The bubble windows were replaced by longer,
sliding side windows. SOURCE: �WIKIPEDIA
