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

Inside the 1930s BMW were producing a quantity of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in response to a get from the German Military.

Preproduction models of the R75 were powered with a 750 cc part valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 unit. This OHV engine unit later proved to be the basis for following post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The third side-car wheel was motivated with an axle connected to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding built in with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road gear ratios through which all and change gears worked well. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most floors. Additional motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its own rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both generally 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 Army, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually developing a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (specified 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 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, processing 20,000 each year.

Since the goal of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach manufacturer was so badly broken by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. A further 98 systems were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
