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

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

Preproduction models of the R75 were power by a 750 cc part valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 unit. This OHV engine unit later became the basis for subsequent 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. These were built in with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road equipment ratios through which all and reverse gears worked well. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable 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 generally employed 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 after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually setting up a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (chosen the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also arranged that the produce of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 systems, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 every year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach stock was so badly harmed by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. A further 98 products were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
