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

Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a volume of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a question from the German Military.

Preproduction types of the R75 were driven by a 750 cc area valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine. Nonetheless it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 device. This OHV engine motor later proved to be the basis for subsequent 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 trunk wheel of the motorcycle. They were built in with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road equipment ratios through which all and reverse gears proved helpful. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most floors. Additional 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 generally employed 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 (specified the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also arranged that the produce of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 systems, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, developing 20,000 each year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach manufacturer was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 units were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
