The BMW R75 is a World War II-era motorcycle and sidecar combo made 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 started in response to a submission from the German Military.

Preproduction types of the R75 were run by a 750 cc side valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine unit. Nonetheless it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 product. This OHV engine 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 driven with an axle linked to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. These were fixed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road products ratios by which all and change gears proved helpful. 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 competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both extensively utilized 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 Army, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually building 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 arranged that the manufacture of the R75 would cease once production reached 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 goal of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach manufacturing plant was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. An additional 98 units were constructed by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
