Did You Know BMW Made A Tiny Pickup At A Chrysler Plant In Greece?When most think of car companies that also produced farm equipment they often think of Lamborghini, Ford, or Porsche. It turns out that BMW also had a hand in the farming business, albeit briefly. This 1965 Farmobil is proof of that. It uses a 0.7-liter two-cylinder 32-hp boxer engine and a four-speed transmission as its motivating force. As an air-cooled engine, it proved incredibly robust and easy to care for.Surprisingly, this tiny truck didn’t obtain certification for the Greek market, which led to most of its production being shipped to various countries around the world. It’s believed that only 900 units were ever produced in total.
