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

Within the 1930s BMW were creating a number of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a demand from the German Military.

Preproduction models of the R75 were driven by a 750 cc side valve engine, that was based 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 foundation for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was influenced with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were built in with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road equipment ratios by which all and reverse gears did the trick. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most surfaces. Additional motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its own rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both greatly 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 setting up 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. They also decided that the manufacture of the R75 would cease 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 aim for of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach factory was so terribly destroyed by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. A further 98 products were built by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
