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

Within the 1930s BMW were producing a quantity of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in response to a need from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were powered by the 750 cc side valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 device. This OHV engine motor later proved to be 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 linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding built in with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road gear ratios by which all and reverse gears did the trick. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable 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 greatly utilized 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 upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually creating 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. In addition they arranged that the make of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 units, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, developing 20,000 each year.

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