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

Within the 1930s BMW were creating a range of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in response to a demand 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 motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 unit. This OHV engine 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 motivated with an axle linked to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. These were fixed with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road items ratios through which all and invert gears worked. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most floors. A few other 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 broadly used by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though over time 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 Military, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually building a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (selected the BW 43), in which 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 cease once production reached 20,200 systems, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 every year.

Since the concentrate on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach factory was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 products were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
