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

Inside the 1930s BMW were producing a amount of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in reaction to a need from the German Military.

Preproduction models of the R75 were driven by a 750 cc side 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 motor for the R75 unit. 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 influenced with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were installed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road products ratios by which all and invert gears worked. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most surfaces. 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 extensively employed 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 Military, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually setting up a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (selected 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 make 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, manufacturing 20,000 every year.

Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach stock was so badly broken by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. An additional 98 items were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
