Ripsnort's REAL BMW
« on: January 17, 2003, 02:55:51 PM »
This is it guys!  13hp, 18cc's, 1 cylinder BMW R-27 motorcycle engine.  0-50mph in 45seconds.  80mpg (3.4gallon tank).

I had to, BTW it is from 1958, the Isetta, the sole car that kept BMW from going bankrupt after WWII.

Hey, History channel had on the "History of BMW" during Xmas week, did you catch it?  You're spot on, it did keep them from bankrupcy...sorta like the K-car for Chrysler.
