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

In the 1930s BMW were creating a volume of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in response to a request from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were driven by a 750 cc side valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 device. This OHV engine motor later became the foundation for following 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 rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were built in with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road equipment ratios by which all and change gears worked well. 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 greatly used 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 after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually making 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 arranged that the produce of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 products, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 20,000 every year.

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