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

Within the 1930s BMW were creating a number 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 driven by way of a 750 cc side valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine. Nonetheless it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 device. This OHV engine motor later became the basis for subsequent 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. They were fixed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road products ratios through which all and invert gears worked well. 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 rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both extensively 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 (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 devices, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 every year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it remained in production before Eisenach stock was so terribly harmed by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. A further 98 products were built by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
