BMW built its own version under license with many revisions, making the Isetta its own vehicle in several ways. The engine is based on a BMW one-cylinder, four-stroke motorcycle engine. Although the major elements of the Italian design remained intact, BMW re-engineered much of the car, so much so that none of the parts between a BMW Isetta Moto Coupe and an Iso Isetta are interchangeable. The first BMW Isetta appeared in April 1955. In February 1956 a 300cc engine was introduced. Thesingle-cylinder engine was enlargedto a 72mm (2.8in)boreand 73mm (2.9)stroke.
