BMWs were not always big, heavy and fast. These photos were taken at the BMW
factory in South Carolina.

This is the first BMW Roadster that could be correctly called a sports car.
It had approximately the performance of a 1950 Volkswagen.

The Bubble Car was invented by Isetta but BMW secured the manufacturing
rights and refined it. Easy to find a parking place.

The Bubble Car had recreational uses too. How about RVing on the cheap?
