The BMW R75 is a World War II-era motorcycle and sidecar combination produced by the German company BMW.

Within the 1930s BMW were creating a range of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in reaction to a question from the German Army.

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

The third side-car wheel was driven with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding built in with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road equipment ratios by which all and change gears did the trick. 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 widely used 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 Military, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually building a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (selected the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they decided that the production of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 models, 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 had not been reached, it remained in production before Eisenach stock was so badly harmed by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 devices were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
