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

In the 1930s BMW were producing a range of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in response to a submission from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were powered by way of a 750 cc part valve engine, that 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 foundation for following post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The third side-car wheel was driven with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were installed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road equipment ratios through which all and reverse gears worked. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most surfaces. A few other 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 broadly used by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period 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 Military, 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 decided that the manufacture of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 products, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 20,000 each year.

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