1955 BMW Isetta 250 Bubble Window

The 1955 BMW Isetta 250 is a distinctive and historically significant vehicle, often referred to as the Bubble Window model. Originally manufactured in Munich, Germany, this micro car was produced from 1953 until 1962, but this particular example hails from the very first year of production. The Isetta is best known for its iconic design, with a unique egg-like shape and a single, round headlight positioned front and center. Additionally, it boasts unusual suicide doors that open to reveal an unconventional cabin, accessed through a large, circular "bubble" window, hence the model's popular name. Despite its compact size, the Isetta offered surprising space for two passengers thanks to its innovative design. This specific vehicle is one of the 250cc models, powered by a rear-mounted single-cylinder engine that delivered around 13 horsepower.
