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

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

Preproduction types of the R75 were driven with a 750 cc area valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 product. This OHV engine 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 powered with an axle linked to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. These were built in 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. A few other motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its own competitor 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 Army, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually making 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 make of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 items, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 20,000 every year.

Since the aim for of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach stock was so badly destroyed by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. An additional 98 products were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
