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

Within the 1930s BMW were creating a variety of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in response to a question from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were driven with a 750 cc part valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 device. This OHV engine motor 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 connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding fixed with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road equipment ratios by which all and invert gears performed. 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 own 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 upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually making 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 make of the R75 would stop once production come to 20,200 items, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 20,000 each year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production before Eisenach manufacturer was so badly damaged by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 systems were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
