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

Within the 1930s BMW were producing a quantity of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in response to a need from the German Military.

Preproduction types of the R75 were driven by a 750 cc area valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 product. This OHV engine unit later proved to be the basis for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The third side-car wheel was motivated with an axle linked to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. They were fixed with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road gear ratios by which all four and invert gears functioned. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most surfaces. A few other motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its own competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both extensively 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 creating a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (specified the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also decided that the produce of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 systems, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 every year.

Since the aim for of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach manufacturer was so badly ruined by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. An additional 98 products were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
