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

In the 1930s BMW were creating a quantity of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in response to a question from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were driven with a 750 cc area valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 product. This OHV engine later proved to be the foundation for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The third side-car wheel was driven with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were built in with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road equipment ratios by which all four and change gears proved helpful. 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 greatly employed 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 Army, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually creating 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 agreed that the produce of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 items, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 every year.

Since the goal of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach factory was so terribly destroyed by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 models were constructed by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
