The BMW Isetta has, for some reason, a rather large following behind it. It’s one of the most famous BMWs of all time and I can understand why. It does have a peculiar shape compared to just about any car out there, let alone Bavarian models. It was also a very important model for our favorite car maker, being the cheap option that customers bought during some troubling times for the brand, saving it from going under.
You probably already know the story behind the one-door car that was also known as the ‘love bubble’ so I won’t go over it again.
However, this is such a beloved model that every once in a while someone decides to give it a modern rendering, one that would bring it in the 21st century.
Today we’re looking at the BMW i1 Isetta concept drawn by Giorgi Tedoradze. His take is rather accurate, as it considers the modern design cues of current BMW models.
There’s a rather large set of kidneys up front that take up after the BMW 4 Series Concept, along with some seriously big wheels on the sides and some aggressive creases on the sides. The corona lights in the headlamps are also following the latest designs in Munich and it all feels Bavarian for some reason. And, I absolutely love it!
If BMW ever wanted to make a simple, 2-seat city car just like Smart has been doing for some time now, this is definitely the way to go.
It would be a perfect go-around electric car. It could borrow the compact battery pack from the MINI Cooper SE, the same motor and get you going with a lot of punch for a super-compact model.
This car could be a hit if the Munich higher-ups would decide to give it a chance. In the meantime, we’re just left with our imagination, picturing how this could look like in life-size packaging.
Or, BMW’s Mini?
I’d still prefer BMW’s Beetle, the i3.
I like the higher seat position and commanding view of the road.
There’s nothing like kicking out the rear end in a corner with rear wheel drive,
and a front suspension free of motors and gears.
But, I’m not their only customer.
Seems aMINI with BMW Appearance and something Abarth on it, but has nothing to do with Isetta Concept of One Door in Front of the 196ßies. It is just another Rendering similar to million guys do recently, nothing else, really not
It is not taking the name Isetta and throw in a general BMW i1 Electric Rendering that is Isetta:
The 2019 Microlino and several Renderings of BMW itself are more Form Language of Isetta really

If Door goes to side, then preferably this still Round Oval Form, but for me Isetta is front Door https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/434e1d3d266c9d99a6662b23c862936b08f8b427994ff56ccd403b224cf4bbce.jpg

The Design 2020 BMW MINI i1 of Guy https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7de3ad7b15505c8f7fe92a01093be0dbc3538e5d0bfe93cf2450299fe5655fc3.jpg
Why are you responding to yourself and causing mass confusion and insanity?
well John, because I like to keep myself entertained. I will tell you how was the day.
1. Wake up at 11 o’clock, went to sofa. After the same ride at Email, Facebook, Ships, News, and after the same web pages check, came here in Blog, saw nothing interesting different
2.Then turned myself to other side in sofa and slept until 14 o clock. After that, took my breakfast and a long bath. Then went the same web check and came to the BMW Blog and saw something. for example saw this rendering… Well, went at Internet to check and saw interesting Ideas of Isetta of past. As having nothing to do at some 16 o’ clock, decided to change the drawings a bit like I like to have something to do and Entertain my passion about Design.
3. Took same four times the web rides, see no new news, too boring those days and saw your complain. So here at 22:35 wrote to you, or better answered. Why is this a problem ?
But do not see as mass confusion neither insanity. In Opposite, it made me pleasure. However if you feel yourself shaked, you have there in upper corner a place to report, that I am sure the owner of Blog Mr. Horatiu gonna check if appropriate or not the discussion to myself, but public anyone can see. So, if he feel to beremoved, he will do. However do not see from my side a so crazy thing here. In facebook there is appearing some Ivanka Trump videos… So what is worst ? Design of cars or spam ? The spam remained there, three times already … haha
Very nice.

Nice.
yeah, they should have done a Smart EV two pax similar … but I decide nothing there !
This has nothing to do with isetta bubblecar. Why are they using the isetta name? This makes no sense.
yeah, tried to explained below, the guy, aspirant Designer used the famous name in his drawing but has nothing to do with the very old concept. He using the famous name, tried to give an up to his Idea only
