this thread still has a chance to be born. I now have my fiancee saying she wants to see it restored so she said she'll stop at nothing until we have it! She gave me a choice between a new old car or the bmw as a project car and I chose the bmw lmao

I promise it will. It's in her home town so she shouldn't have an issue finding out. Its a $30k car restored so I ain't giving up yet

And it probably is $30k in parts since it's a notaverycommoncar.

**Mad Monkey** · 03-12-2013

yeah look into finsiehed value and cost of parts before you start in on it.. its like dumping money into a GP.. not always worth it

**blueguy** · 03-12-2013

Says secret mods guy.

**Mad Monkey** · 03-12-2013

yup, but least my car isnt rusty

**dsmuts** · 03-12-2013

WHAT'S WRONG WITH RUSTY CARS? lol

**RALM** · 03-12-2013

already done there's a couple places that people sell parts. Also I think I found one place that sells oem replacement parts for some of the larger panels. I crunched the numbers and if I straighten/fabricate the panels it should cost me no more than 10-15k

Hi. Any new update on bmw 600 isetta limo ? Do you have another pics ? Many thanks.

**BillBoost37** · 07-03-2014

First time seeing this thread.

If you estimate it's 10-15 to work/fab parts.. you are forgetting the first tule of stuff like this. Double your initial estimate and hope the car doesn't come out at triple.

I thought I'd never see this here. My dad had 5 of these when I was a kid. Used 2 of them to chase each other in parades and stuff like that.

One ended up painted as garfield the cat, head to toe front to back.

Might even have the odd part kicking around. But I wouldn't bother with engine swap as these didn't like high speed much, gets a little scary. As for tunes get an ipod or bluetooth speaker as its not worth hacking it up.

Btw it should have reverse and it's not a 2 stroke. You'll have fun learning left hand standard too.

The gas/brake pedals will be seized and the drive shaft/ universal joint type things will be dry rotted. Looks similar to what a Lincoln LS uses, it's a rubber ring with 6 holes that acts as a universal joint.

You'd be surprised the parts you'll be able to find.
