These were the first cars after the Second World War, which could afford in Germany, even a simple worker. It was practically the beginning of full motorization for everyone. In addition to this model, there were a number of other mini-cars. Before the war, a simple worker could not afford a car. Also in the 1950s, prosperity for little people in Germany was not enough for a real big car. In the 1960s, these mini cars disappeared again and the people bought larger models as the financial wellbeing got better and better. There were even well-known brands that began producing small technical products after the war, such as BMW, Messerschmitt, Heinkel. First they built motorcycles, scooters and then covered motor scooters (mini-cars). Today you laugh about it, but in Germany immobility was a big problem after the war, which could be eliminated with these little cars for all citicens. Everyone was proud if they could own one.

I have owned both a 1957 BMW 600 car, just like this like this, and a 1960 BMW R 600 motorcycle. The engines are almost identical, though the engine is turned around 'backwards' in the car. The bike had 42 Horsepower, the car engine was detuned to 22 Horses. The bike had fairly large twin Bing carbs, the car a single tiny Zenith carb. The bike had fairly open twin exhaust pipes, the car a quite restrictive single muffler and an air-to-air heater. The bike had higher compression and bigger valves, the car had a fan added to the slightly longer crankshaft for cooling, as well as shrouding to direct the cooling air. On the bike there was no cooling fan as the cylinders hung out into the air stream. I modded the car engine with bike parts; the bike's higher compression pistons, heads, carbs, and a homemade dual exhaust. I also added wider, Metzeler 'racing' tires. The performance became awesome, though overheating was a slight problem if you stood on it too much, as the fan needed to increase in size to increase cooling to keep up with the increased power. Both were very high quality vehicles. The car was killed by the cheap VW bug with more room and a small trunk.

Love how the Germans used the term "limousine" for a saloon car - look at publicity material for the Trabant 601 and you'll see the same term. There are still a few Isettas about, and they're extremely desirable now, but I'll bet the BMW 600 is a much, much rarer beast. It is charming.

What a lovely car! A proper car, unlike the 2 seater version. 4 wheels for stability, beautiful colour interior, and unlike the cheapskate 2 seater, a REAL dash! Beautiful! I looked on the internet, about India's beautiful Tata Nano. That too had a 600 engine, but with a stupid 3 cylinder engine.(why does anybody ever bother with 3 cylinder engines?That is at odds with 4- stroke engines, and being one of the later 3 cylinder jobs, has a laboriously designed "balancer shaft" This like another cylinder in appearance, only apart from reducing vibrations from the unbalanced design, does absolutely nothing! So I was going to write to Tata and suggest using a 2 cylinder engine, but horizontally opposed.This car's engine (Isetta 600) has this , of course, and, usefully for a small engine, will also be good for HILLS. According to Alpha Romeo, when they still used horizontally opposed engines , boxer engines "let out a fifth more power". I had a Volkswagen with such an engine, and it went up hills as easily, as being on flat roads!

The construction of the Motorbike engine may be similar, but the bikes didn't have a ventilator for cooling. I think, the small Isetta has the one cylinder from the BMW RS 250, although the bikes always were 4-strokes. The RS was the most popular motorbike of the 50s and the hell of a reliable one! Some of them are still used as daily drivers today! In the 60s came the RS 50 and RS 65, from which the big Isetta may have a common ancestor, the bike again being 4-stroke. The RS 25 can be used as a daily driver because it is quite modern and needs less maintainance than a new motorcycle. It has a very economical one cilinder 250cc engine (3 liters/100 Km), a drive shaft and no chain and more or less enough power (15 HP?) do be used on today's road. I had a 70s 100 RS, a one liter bike with 70 HP or so. It had over 100'000 Km without any overhaul and was a cool ride with a very low level of gravity. The bike didn't even fall on the side when left on its own: the big bars protecting the cylinders touched ground first and the bike stayed upright. Great bike!
