The BMW R75 is a global Battle II-era motorcycle and sidecar combination produced by the German company BMW.

In the 1930s BMW were creating a range of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in response to a get from the German Military.

Preproduction models of the R75 were power with a 750 cc part valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine motor. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 device. This OHV engine motor later proved to be the basis for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was powered with an axle connected to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. They were equipped with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road gear ratios through which all and change gears worked well. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most areas. Additional motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its own rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both greatly employed by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period of evaluation it became clear that the Z?ndapp was the superior machine. In August 1942 Z?ndapp and BMW, on the urging of the Army, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually developing a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (specified the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they decided that the produce of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 units, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 each year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach stock was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. A further 98 units were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
