BMW Isetta[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
Concept, design, and engineeringBMW needed to expand its model range, but they did not have the resources to develop an all-new car with an all-new engine. Therefore, it used the Isetta as starting point for a new four seat economy car.[SUP]

Right 3/4 view, with front door open and side door in view
As a result, the 600 used the front suspension and front door of the Isetta.[SUP]
[3][/SUP] The need to carry four people required a longer frame, a different rear suspension, and a larger engine. A new perimeter frame was designed, using box section side members and straight tube crossmembers.[SUP]
[3][/SUP] The rear suspension was an independent
semi trailing arm design; this was the first time BMW had used this system.[SUP]
[5][/SUP] The chassis had a wheelbase of 1,700 millimetres (67 in),[SUP]
[3][/SUP] a front track of 1,220 millimetres (48 in), and a rear track of 1,160 millimetres (46 in).[SUP]
[5][/SUP]
The 600 was powered by the 582 cc (35.5 cu in)
flat-twin engine from the
R67 motorcycle/sidecar combination. This engine, which delivered 19.5 horsepower (14.5 kW) at 4,500 revolutions per minute, was mounted behind the rear wheels. A four-speed manual gearbox was standard,[SUP]
[5][/SUP] while a Saxomat semi-automatic transmission was available.[SUP]

Access to the rear seats was by a conventional door on the right side of the vehicle.[SUP]

[h=2]Reception[/h]
The Isetta image hurt the sales of this larger, more upscale car.
The sales figures for the 600 did not meet BMW's expectations. During production from August 1957 to 1959, about 35,000 were built. This is attributed to competition with more conventional cars, including the
Volkswagen Beetle.[SUP]

[h=2]Legacy[/h]
Rear view of the 600
The 600 played a direct role in the design of its successor, the
BMW 700. Wolfgang Denzel, the distributor of BMW cars in Austria, commissioned
Giovanni Michelotti to prepare concept sketches based on a lengthened BMW 600 chassis. Denzel presented the concept, a 2-door coupe with a slanted roof, to BMW's management. The concept was generally well received, but objections were raised about the limited passenger space. BMW decided to produce two versions, the coupe, and a 2-door sedan with a taller, longer roof.[SUP]

Another legacy of the 600 was its independent semi-trailing arm rear suspension. This was BMW's first use of this suspension system and, with the exception of the
BMW M1, it was used on every BMW production automobile introduced afterward up to 1984.[SUP]
[5][/SUP] It was eventually supplanted by the "Z-axle"
multi-link suspension introduced with the
BMW Z1 in 1988.[SUP]
[8][/SUP] The last BMW cars with semi-trailing arm suspension were the
BMW Compact and the
BMW Z3.[SUP]
