This 1957 BMW Isetta 300 coupe is powered by a 298cc single paired with a four-speed manual transaxle and is finished in blue and white with a chrome luggage rack, side mirrors, and nerf bars. On the inside, the single bench seat is trimmed in blue vinyl and accompanied by a cabin heater. Further equipment includes a white canvas sunroof, sliding side windows, and 10″ steel wheels with polished covers. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2023, this Isetta is now offered on dealer consignment at no reserve with an instruction manual and a clean California title.
The Isetta was updated for 1956 with revised glass including pillarless sliding side windows. This example was refinished in blue and white and wears a rear luggage rack with a hard-sided suitcase. Additional details include a white canvas sunroof along with chrome side mirrors and nerf bars. The selling dealer notes various blemishes around the body.
The white-finished 10″ steel wheels wear polished covers and are mounted with BFGoodrich whitewall tires. The Isetta features a coil-spring suspension up front paired with leaf springs out back, and stopping power is provided by hydraulically actuated drum brakes.
The cabin is accessed through a front-opening side-hinged door and features a single bench seat trimmed in patterned blue vinyl with white piping. A rearview mirror is mounted to the ceiling, and the floors are protected by a rubber mat. Further details include a cabin heater along with a door pocket, an ashtray, a horn button, and a rear parcel shelf.
The steering wheel is mounted on a hinged column and accompanied by a shifter to its left. The dash pod houses a reverse-sweep 60-mph VDO speedometer with suggested shift points and a five-digit odometer that shows 9k miles. The selling dealer states that total mileage is unknown.
The air-cooled 298cc single is accessed via a panel on the right side of the car and was factory rated at 13 horsepower.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle.
