Developed by Renzo Rivolta's Iso works in Italy. the Isetta was also license-built by BMW in West Germany. where it's unusual shape begat the whimsical nickname “das rollende Ei” – the rolling egg. The Isetta may have sold poorly in Italy. but the timing for BMW was perfect. as it quickly became fashionable and was extensively used by the Bundespost. In the United States. the Isetta achieved cult status following several appearances on popular TV variety shows of the era.  
Measuring just seven feet. nine inches long and only four-and-a-half feet wide. the Isetta was barely larger than a standard plywood sheet. As a result. Isetta owners were never at a loss for a parking space. contributing to their strong popularity among city dwellers. In fact. in many ways the success of this small automobile saved BMW from being taken over by Mercedes during the late 1950s.
