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

Within the 1930s BMW were producing a number of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in response to a demand from the German Army.

Preproduction models of the R75 were power with a 750 cc area valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine unit. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 device. This OHV engine unit later became the basis 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. We were holding fixed with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road items ratios through which all four and reverse gears performed. 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 competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both widely employed 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 Army, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually setting up a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (chosen 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 produce of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 items, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 every year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach factory was so terribly ruined by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. An additional 98 models were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
