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

In the 1930s BMW were creating a quantity of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in response to a demand from the German Army.

Preproduction models of the R75 were power with a 750 cc side valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 unit. This OHV engine later became the foundation 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 items ratios by which all four and invert gears worked well. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most areas. 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 widely utilized 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 making 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. 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, developing 20,000 every year.

Since the aim for of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach manufacturing plant was so badly ruined by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. An additional 98 products were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
