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

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

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

The third side-car wheel was powered with an axle connected to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. They were installed with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road equipment ratios by which all and reverse gears did the trick. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most floors. Additional 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 broadly employed 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 after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually setting up a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (chosen the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also decided that the manufacture of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 units, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 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 stock was so badly broken by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. A further 98 systems were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
