	isetta history
		BMW introduced the restyled Isetta Moto Coupe DeLuxe (sliding-window Isetta) in October 1956 with the larger 298 cc motor for export.
		BMW began exporting Isettas to the U.S. (to a lukewarm response) in 1957.
		Overall, the Isetta was successful enough to encourage BMW to produce the 600, which shared the Isetta’s front door and a motorcycle engine (600 cc) and the more car-like 700 (also powered by a motorcycle engine).

	BMW / Isetta
		BMW then sold the manufacturing rights to various companies around the world, and the Isetta was then produced in France (Velam), and from 1957 the UK which became "Isetta of Great Britain Ltd".
		The Isetta was one of the true "bubble cars" having a bubble shaped body that was made from steel and bolted to a separate tubular chassis and, like its 4-wheeler counterpart, it used the BMW 298cc 4-stroke engine.
		The Isetta also featured a canvas sun roof, this was fitted to partially act as a means of escape should the vehicle be involved in a head on collision which obstructed the door and prevented it from opening.

		the main advantage of the isetta was that it was affordable as well as connected to motorcycles which were extremely popular during the 50ies.
		as custom-built versions, the isetta was also produced as a convertible with a removable roof and as a truck with a detachable panel.
		however, the isetta has never ceased to fascinate people, a fact that is illustrated by the many fan clubs and about 5.000 enquiries at the bmw company archives every year.

		In 1955 he sold the licence to manufacture the Isetta in Germany to BMW leading to the BMW Isetta.
		The Velam Isetta used a 236 cc two stroke engine, a convertible version of the Velam Isetta was sold from 1957 and a luxury version was introduced in 1958 named the Velam Ecrin.
		Interestingly although the BMW Isetta sold far better than the Velam Isetta many consider Velam's design to be superior.

	Cartype : BMW Isetta 300
		BMW was in danger of a buyout from arch-rivals Mercedes-Benz.
		BMW had upped the power to 13hp, shaving the 0-30 time to 11 seconds, and giving the car a top speed of 50mph, for the bravest of drivers.
		BMW produced 160,000 of the machines until 1964, by which time the bubble-car craze was in decline.

	1957 BMW Isetta 250
		Called Isetta, or "little Iso", the car was a startling, totally unconventional design that caused a furor at its introduction in Turin in November 1953.
		It was seen by BMW as filling a gap between their motorcycle range and the luxury 501 models.
		The quirky little Motocoupe as it was called by BMW, became the dream of the workingman, and by November 1955, ten thousand had been built.

	50 Years of the BMW Isetta - GermanCarFans.com
		BMW had set a production target for the year 1955 of 11,200 Isettas; in the event the figure was considerably higher – but it still did not meet the demand.
		In June the company went out of their way to deny this in the press: “A rumour has recently surfaced to the effect that manufacture of the BMW Isetta is going to be closed down due to the expiry of the licence and the appearance of a new and larger car.
		But as the BMW annual report stated: “The decline in domestic sales of the Isetta is balanced by a significant rise in shipments of CKD Isetta kits for assembly abroad.” Whereas in 1958 a mere 825 Motocoupé kits had been shipped worldwide, in 1959 the figure was 6,900.

	CanadianDriver: BMW Isetta 'bubble car' celebrates fiftieth anniversary
		BMW, which was in danger of being absorbed by Mercedes-Benz due to poor sales of its expensive cars, introduced an egg-shaped, two-seater "Motocoupé" that eventually sold 12,911 units in its first year.
		BMW acquired a licence to build the car, adding a BMW single-cylinder motorcycle engine and fine-tuning the styling for German tastes before bringing it to market a year later.
		Isetta went through a few changes over the years, including a 300cc 13 hp model in 1956, and upscale export versions with top-hung side windows and improved chassis.

	50 Years of the BMW Isetta
		With the big 501 Saloon, which had a pre-war six-cylinder engine under the bonnet, BMW was certainly offering a fast and luxurious car; but for a large part of the population it was several times too expensive.
		At the beginning of 1954, shortly after the Board of BMW had proudly presented the new V8 on the shores of Lake Geneva, BMW’s main agent in Switzerland, C.A. Drenowatz, was visiting the Geneva Show when he discovered a “fully-faired motorcycle” called an Isetta and manufactured by the Italian firm Isomoto.
		To quote from a press release at the time of the launch: the engine “gives the BMW Isetta excellent acceleration, with help from the well-chosen ratios in its four-speed gearbox, which also has a claw shift and reverse gear.

	BMW Isetta
		BMW went through some hard times in the 1950's, as their range of saloons and sports cars (especially the V8 engined 507 Roadster) were too expensive for their respective markets.
		Designed by the Iso company (makers of such high performance GT machines such as the Grifo and the Rivolta), BMW built it under license between 1955 and 1963, and equipped it with a BMW motorcycle engine.
		Hence it disappeared by 1963, by which time BMW was back on track making sporty executive cars at a profit, and hence were not very interested in the small bubble car anymore.

		BMW replaced the Isetta's two-stroke with a modified version of one of its motorcycle engines, an air cooled 247 cc, 12 horsepower single-cylinder, four-stroke.
		BMW also fitted a more conventional trailing arm and coil spring front suspension in place of the horizontal coils used by Iso.
		Isetta drivers could not be shy or retiring because the car attracted attention everywhere it went.

		The only difference was that it saw this earlier than BMW and had already completed a micro car in 1953.
		The Isetta was a crossover between scooters and cars, but it was not much cheaper than a Volkswagen Beetle.
		In 1957, BMW launched a 4-passenger version of the Isetta as a separate line, the 600.

		BMW is poised to join the growing trend of combined coupe-cabriolets with retractable metal roofs when it unveils its next-generation 3 Series convertible in fall 2006.
		So BMW's decision could give the Bavarian carmaker an advantage over rivals such as Audi and Mercedes, which have said they are sticking with traditional soft-top and coupe versions of their next A4 and CLK models, respectively.
		Last, but not least, there is the BMW Isetta 2020, which is ofcourse based on the old Isetta, but transformed into an idea for the future.

		Holding their manufacturing license from BMW the company built a version of the car which had a single rear wheel instead of the narrow-track twin rear wheels of its parent.
		BMW now broadened its horizons with the 600 model, a wheel-at-each-corner, four-seat, long wheelbase development of the original Isetta.
		Although, the Isetta was remarkably popular in the later 1950's, the fashion for cars of its type died out after BMC introduced the enormously successful Mini in 1959.
