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

Within the 1930s BMW were producing a quantity of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in reaction to a need from the German Military.

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

The third side-car wheel was motivated with an axle connected to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. These were fixed with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road equipment ratios by which all four and change gears worked. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most areas. Additional 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 generally utilized 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 upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually creating 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 arranged that the make of the R75 would stop once production come to 20,200 systems, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 each year.

Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach manufacturing plant was so terribly ruined by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. A further 98 models were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
