The BMW R75 is a World Warfare II-era motorcycle and sidecar combo 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 were only available in respond to a request from the German Army.

Preproduction models of the R75 were powered by the 750 cc area valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 product. This OHV engine unit later became the basis for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was driven with an axle linked to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding fixed with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road equipment ratios by which all four and invert gears functioned. 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 rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both extensively utilized 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 Army, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually making a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (chosen the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also agreed that the make of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 units, and from then on 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 remained in production before Eisenach factory was so badly damaged by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 devices were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
