Inside the "Big Block" 1958 BMW Isetta 300: Microcar Test Drive!

Jay Leno steps inside an absolute automotive hero that looks anything but heroic: a 1958 BMW Isetta 300. Before BMW built precision sports cars and luxury sedans, the company was completely devastated by World War II. Restricted by post-war regulations, they desperately needed a vehicle to keep them afloat. And this eccentric, Italian-designed microcar was exactly what saved the brand.
