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

Inside the 1930s BMW were producing a amount of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in reaction to a submission from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were run with a 750 cc side valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 product. This OHV engine later became the basis 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 trunk wheel of the motorcycle. These were equipped with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road equipment ratios through which all and change gears proved helpful. 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 competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both extensively used by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period 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 (chosen the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they decided that the manufacture 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 concentrate on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach manufacturer was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 systems were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
