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

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

Preproduction types of the R75 were powered by way of a 750 cc aspect valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine motor. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 device. This OHV engine later proved to be the basis for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The third side-car wheel was powered with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were equipped with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road equipment ratios by which all and change gears proved helpful. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most surfaces. A few other 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 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 making 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 production of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 models, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 each year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach manufacturing plant was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. A further 98 units were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
