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

Inside the 1930s BMW were producing a quantity of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a request from the German Military.

Preproduction types of the R75 were run by a 750 cc side valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine unit. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 product. This OHV engine unit later became the foundation for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The third side-car wheel was driven with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were fitted with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road items ratios through which all and change gears proved helpful. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most floors. 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 extensively 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 Army, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually setting up 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 produce of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 devices, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 20,000 every year.

Since the concentrate on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach factory was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. A further 98 devices were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
