Isetta is the car that saved BMW. BMW found itself in a sad situation after the Second World War. In 1956, the Suez crisis occurred, which led to a rise in the price of fuel. Motorists now had to save not only on the cars themselves, but also on their operation. The Isetta, which consumes less than 5 liters per 100 km, attracted the attention of the public. The car, although it looked frivolous, was significantly smaller than traditional cars, but it was cheap and economical. In addition, at first, a motorcyclist's driver's license was enough to control the Isetta. This contributed to good sales of the car and significantly improved BMW's financial situation.
