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 range of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in reaction to a need from the German Military.

Preproduction models of the R75 were power by a 750 cc side valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 product. This OHV engine motor later became the basis for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was driven with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were built in with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road equipment ratios through which all four and reverse gears proved helpful. 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 rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both widely utilized by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period 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 Army, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually making a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (designated the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they agreed that the produce of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 products, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 each year.

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