BMW 600 - The double Isettchen

May 12, 2022 — Paul Krüger 63

There was a huge gap in BMW's model range in the mid-fifties. Apart from clattering scooters and sinfully expensive luxury cars, the Munich-based company had nothing to offer. The BMW 600 was supposed to fill the gap with twice as many seats, twice as many doors and twice as much engine capacity as the Isetta. It was confusingly similar to its little sister - and failed miserably. A copy of a successful model does not guarantee a copy of success. We tell the story of the BMW 600 and show it in many pictures as well as in the original sales brochure.

BMW 600 in the endurance test (ZQ)

March 5, 2016 — N. N.20

The Automobil Revue covered 2200 km with the BMW 600 small car, over hill and dale and also up Alpine passes. The result was a very detailed long-distance test report that clearly highlighted the many strengths and few weaknesses of the intelligently designed four-seater. This article reproduces the original wording of the test report at the time and shows the BMW 600 in many historical illustrations as well as the sales brochure of the time.
