How many different models of Isettas are there?
There were many variants of the BMW Isetta. And we won’t even get into the Isettas licensed for production by Velam in France, Isetta of Great Britain, Romi in Brazil and the original Iso Italian models. Early models were of the bubble window variety. In early 1957, BMW switched over to the sliding window model which eventually became the most common of all Isettas with the biggest sales year, at least in the US, being ’57. The following is a roster of the basic variants we were able to unearth. Keep in mind that there were slight changes in body panels, trim and paint schemes over their respective production runs but the models shown below are exemplary of what was offered to the public for sale. All models are four wheelers except where noted.
