We got our hands on BMW’s microcar: the Isetta. Why did BMW make this tiny refrigerator car? Today we’re driving it and finding out some of the history behind this bizarre little car.

BMW hoped to sell 400,000 of the larger 600 model but only 35,000 were sold , so putting BMW further into the red.
The next model with convetional appearance , the 700, was the car that saved them.
To quote Wikipedia on the more successful 700 developed by BMW and not Isetta :
The BMW 700 is a small rear-engined car which was produced by BMW in various models from August 1959 to November 1965. It was the first BMW automobile with a monocoque structure. The 700 was a sales success at a time when BMW was close to financial ruin.[5] The 700 was also successful in its class in motorsport, both in its stock form and as the basis of a racing special called the 700RS.
Lots of examples on YouTube, even racing well at Goodwood.
An italian car with an italian name and german logo 😉
Rear engine, RWD, manual, german, air cooled engine, its basically a 911
It is not an Isetta, it is a BMW 600. They paid no license fee to ISO for making this car – but they did pay for making the Isetta 300. The two cars share no parts in common, even the front door is not exactly the same. (I own a 600.)
Hey. For anyone who knows, what car is that at 6:27? Thanks in advance.
The dude at 5:25 hitting the phaddest reverse
Mod the isetta car i want to see it beat High car in a race…
One of the better videos.
Nice BMW
Donut should cover the BMW 700, both the sedan and coupe.
tic tac car
This stretched Isetta looks like a shrunken down VW bus
I remember this whip from storage wars😂
The only car that you can use for deadlifts at the gym
THE ISETTA!!!!!
This is not an Isetta.
This isn't a Isetta!
Its a BMW 600 with a 2-cylinder boxer in the back. It has 4 seats and came after the success of the 2 seater Isetta. That has a 1-cylinder 250cc engine in the middle and is s really small car.
I dare you to take it to mexico then imma buy every isetta in the world if it works
My dad learned to drive in one of these, it was the family car and he and his siblings practiced driving it on backroads. A few years later it broke somehow and they were glad a scrapyard still paid them like 50 ish D-Mark for it
Love it!!!😂❤
I still have fond memories sitting in an even smaller version with a 300cc engine with only 13 hp, I was in the BMW World in Munich and they actually let people sit in it and drive it for a few meters.
It's all fun and games til they gap a Slingshot.
Hey my dad has the smaller version of that which is the BMW Isetta 300, (that is the 600 which has more seats) but its the 4-wheeler with really close back wheels.
For 72 miles a gallon daily driver for sure

"The Isetta? That's what I SAID-A" Only the old heads know where that's from 😅
5:57 very creepy. 5:57
They should search for a real BMW Isetta…
This is a BMW 600!
I love this izzeta 600 something i would drive and it smaller models as well. Kinda want one myself but ya that a dream. That being said it nice to see you guys haveing fun some of the other videos i felt like thir was no emotion in or you seemed bord so nice to see the chnge. It really dose make a difference. Cant waite to see what else comes.
0:09 "This is the smallest BMW ever made"
BMW Motorrad: Am I a joke to you?
What if you guys make a bunch of videos reviewing vintage economy/micro cars and if they are still practical in the modern day.
This is my twenty eighth comment
Put Hayabusa engine in it and see how fast it can go
How about an old segment … bring back science garage and get back to teaching.
I actually did recognize it from Forza Horizon. Thanks Justin, I feel seen.
I remember seeing that car in the show Family Matters… that might show my age a bit 😅
I recognized it is Steve Urkel's first car
Y’all should have gotten the even smaller version of it. You have to open the front of the car to get in. My neighbor had multiple and loved them.
This looks like a citroen ami. And I really like it. Waiting for it to get launched in India.
That's my 8yr old daughters car in Forza complete with dead mouse Nyan Cat decals of course.
You should visit the Gilmore Car Museum in Michigan and check out all of their cars there. They even have the Isetta you're showing here and the EV you rode around in!
5:22 bro on the bike went like
They’re right; it’s NOT a BMW without the bucktooth grille!
I’ve seen bigger tires on Hot Wheels cars! 🤣
I used to own this car, Not one like it but this exact car. I traded it for a DeLorean (not joking).
That thing is rad!
Now mod it
V8 swap it
