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

Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a number of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in reaction to a submission from the German Army.

Preproduction models of the R75 were powered by the 750 cc area valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 device. This OHV engine unit 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 linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were fixed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road equipment ratios by which all four and reverse gears proved helpful. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most floors. Additional motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both widely used by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though over time 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 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. They also decided that the production of the R75 would stop once production come to 20,200 products, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 every year.

Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach factory was so badly harmed by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 units were constructed by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
