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

Inside the 1930s BMW were producing a quantity of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in reaction to a question from the German Military.

Preproduction types of the R75 were powered by a 750 cc side valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 unit. This OHV engine motor later became the foundation 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 rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding installed with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road gear ratios by which all four and reverse gears performed. 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 generally used 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 building a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (designated the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also agreed that the manufacture of the R75 would stop once production come to 20,200 items, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 every year.

Since the aim for of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it remained in production before Eisenach stock was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. A further 98 systems were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
