The BMW R75 is a World Conflict II-era motorcycle and sidecar mixture produced by the German company BMW.

Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a amount of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in reaction to a question from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were run with a 750 cc aspect valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine unit. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 device. This OHV engine later proved to be the basis for following 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. We were holding built in with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road equipment ratios by which all and reverse gears worked well. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most floors. 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 broadly utilized by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though over time of analysis it became clear that the Z?ndapp was the superior machine. In August 1942 Z?ndapp and BMW, on the urging of the Military, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually setting up a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (selected the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they arranged that the production of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 products, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, developing 20,000 each year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach manufacturing plant was so badly broken by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 devices were built by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
