Better and better - the BMW Isetta 300 in the (historic) test

August 12, 2016 — Ing. Johann-Christian Spira 44

Initially viewed with suspicion and ridiculed as a curiosity, the BMW Isetta quickly established itself on the German market. It became one of the driving forces in the small car segment. BMW gradually cured the teething troubles and continued to develop the cabin scooter, and the BMW Isetta 300 from 1957 could already be considered a mature product. It was the subject of a meticulous test by Motor Rundschau magazine, which is reproduced here in its original wording.

You should drive a BMW Isetta sometime

February 11, 2017 — Obering. Siegfried Rauch 22

It was in 1959 that the magazine "Das Moped und die Kleinmotorisierung" subjected the BMW Isetta to extensive endurance testing over 6000 km. And the enthusiasm was great, the Isetta was convincing in almost every respect. The Isetta scored top marks with hardly any technical breakdowns and only suffered disadvantages in very special road conditions. This article reproduces the carefully restored original text from back then and is illustrated with contemporary photographs.

The rescued motor coupé - BMW Isetta 300

March 10, 2017 — Bruno von Rotz 100

Things were not going well for BMW in the mid-fifties; there was a huge gap between the ailing motorcycle trade and the luxury class BMW 502. Time was of the essence, a new product was needed. The solution was the Isetta. It actually came from Iso, a refrigerator manufacturer in Italy, but BMW put its own stamp on the cabin scooter. And made it a success, which saved the company from going under. This driving report describes the history of the Isetta and shows it in historical and current pictures. The article is supplemented by original brochures and a sound sample.
