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

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

Preproduction types of the R75 were run by way of a 750 cc area valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 product. This OHV engine motor later proved to be the foundation for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The third side-car wheel was motivated with an axle linked to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. They were installed with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road gear ratios by which all four and change gears worked well. 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 own competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both broadly used 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 developing 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 decided that the produce 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, developing 20,000 every year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach manufacturing plant was so badly damaged by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. An additional 98 models were built by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
