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

Within the 1930s BMW were creating a range of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in respond to a need from the German Military.

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

The third side-car wheel was influenced with an axle linked to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. They were fitted with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road gear ratios by which all four 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 own rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both extensively employed by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period 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 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 stop once production reached 20,200 products, and after that 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 had not been reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach stock was so terribly harmed by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 units were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
