The BMW Isetta 300 is a microcar produced by BMW in the 1950s. Originally designed by the Italian company Iso, the Isetta was licensed and manufactured by BMW as an affordable, fuel-efficient vehicle during a period of economic recovery in post-war Europe.

The Isetta 300 is characterized by its compact, egg-shaped body and front-opening door, which provides access to the cabin. It typically seats two passengers and is powered by a small single-cylinder engine mounted at the rear. Due to its lightweight construction and modest engine output, the vehicle was designed for short-distance urban travel rather than high-speed driving.

Produced between 1956 and 1962, the BMW Isetta 300 became one of the most recognizable microcars of its era. It played a significant role in BMW’s financial recovery and remains an iconic example of minimalist automotive design focused on efficiency and practicality.
