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

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

Preproduction types of the R75 were driven by way of a 750 cc side valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 device. This OHV engine later became the foundation for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The third side-car wheel was influenced with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding fixed with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road gear ratios by which all and invert gears proved helpful. 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 broadly employed 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 after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually developing a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (chosen the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also arranged that the make of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 products, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, developing 20,000 each year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production before Eisenach manufacturing plant was so badly broken by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 units were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
