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

In the 1930s BMW were producing a number of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a request from the German Military.

Preproduction types of the R75 were powered by a 750 cc area valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine unit. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 product. This OHV engine unit later became 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 equipped with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road gear ratios through which all four and invert gears worked. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most areas. A few other motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its own competitor 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 Military, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually setting up a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (designated the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they agreed that the make of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 units, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 each year.

Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach manufacturing plant was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 systems were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
