Background:
The BMW Isetta, affectionately nicknamed the Bubble Car, revolutionized the German automotive market in 1955. As the first mass-produced economy car, it enabled many people to achieve motorized mobility. Originally developed by the Italian company Iso, the microcar was licensed and further developed by BMW. With its distinctive front-entry door, economical single-cylinder engine, and affordable price, the Isetta quickly became a symbol of the German economic miracle. Between 1955 and 1962, over 160,000 units were produced, making it a highly sought-after collectors item today.
