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

Inside the 1930s BMW were producing a volume of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in response to a demand from the German Military.

Preproduction models of the R75 were power by the 750 cc side valve engine, that 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 device. This OHV engine unit later became the foundation for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was driven with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were fitted with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road items ratios through which all four and invert gears performed. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most floors. Additional 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 widely used by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though over time 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 stop once production come to 20,200 systems, 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 had not been reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach manufacturer was so terribly harmed by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. An additional 98 models were constructed by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
