The Story of My 1957 BMW Isetta

This is a video made over the course of 3 years. From 2021 to 2023. I buy and "restore" a vintage microcar, the BMW isetta.
From first looks to first drives, this video shows everything. Do I actually end up buying another isetta in the process? Guess you'll have to watch to find out!

I loved my Isetta

[@bernietime]

I just bought another one to fix! Should I make a video about it?

Lovely little car- great find!

[@bernietime]

Thanks! I miss it a lot. Glad I sold it to a friend

When I lived in Germany with my family in 19667-67, this was a common car on the road. I was a young kid at the time, but I still have my Corgi BMW Isetta toy car.

That thing is a deathtrap. I hope you never get into a head-on collision in this.

[@bernietime]

That’s why it has a sunroof! In case you ever head on collision, you can climb out the top 😂

Haha I know right! I did a deep dive on the how you pronounce all the letters I. The German language… look up “U” and “Y” for a good laugh

I want one, I'm in Torrance, hook me up with the Messershmitt guy!

[@bernietime]

I want one too! Messerschmitts are so hard to find in the US…. Unless you have 50 grand to spare ha ha.!
