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

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

Preproduction types of the R75 were run by way of a 750 cc part valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine motor. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 device. This OHV engine unit later proved to be 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 connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were fixed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road items ratios through which all and reverse gears functioned. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most areas. Additional motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both broadly 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 after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually creating a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (selected the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they agreed that the production 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, manufacturing 20,000 each year.

Since the aim for of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it remained in production before Eisenach manufacturer was so badly destroyed by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. An additional 98 systems were constructed by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
