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

Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a volume of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in respond to a question from the German Military.

Preproduction types of the R75 were run by the 750 cc side valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 product. This OHV engine later became the foundation for following post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The third side-car wheel was powered with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were fitted with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road gear ratios through which all four and change gears did the trick. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most floors. A few other motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both broadly employed 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 upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually building 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. They also arranged that the production of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 products, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 every year.

Since the goal of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach factory was so terribly destroyed by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 products were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
