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

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

Preproduction types of the R75 were driven with a 750 cc aspect valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 product. 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 motivated with an axle connected to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. They were equipped with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road products ratios through which all four and invert gears worked. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most areas. 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 utilized by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though over time 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 Military, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually building 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. In addition they agreed that the produce of the R75 would stop once production come to 20,200 products, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 each year.

Since the goal of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it remained in production before Eisenach manufacturing plant was so badly ruined by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 units were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
