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

Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a variety of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a request from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were power by a 750 cc area valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 unit. This OHV engine later proved to be the basis for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was influenced with an axle linked to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. They were built in with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road products ratios by which all four and change gears worked. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most surfaces. 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 extensively 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 Military, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually creating a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (chosen 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 come to 20,200 devices, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 every year.

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