The BMW Isetta was one of the most recognizable microcars of the 1950s and became an important part of BMW's history during the postwar era. Originally developed in Italy by Iso, the Isetta was licensed and produced by BMW beginning in the mid-1950s. Its distinctive egg-shaped body, compact dimensions, and front-opening door made it unlike virtually any other vehicle on the road. BMW's version was offered with a small single-cylinder motorcycle-derived engine, providing economical transportation at a time when fuel efficiency and affordability were especially important. The Isetta became particularly popular in Europe and helped BMW establish a foothold in the small-car market during a pivotal period for the company.
