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

Within the 1930s BMW were producing a quantity of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a question from the German Army.

Preproduction models of the R75 were run with a 750 cc part valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine unit. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 unit. This OHV engine motor 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 powered with an axle connected to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding installed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road equipment ratios through which all four and change gears proved helpful. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most surfaces. 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 extensively employed 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 Army, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually building 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 agreed that the make of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 units, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 each year.

Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach factory was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 systems were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
