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

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

Preproduction types of the R75 were driven by a 750 cc part valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine motor. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 device. This OHV engine motor later became the foundation for following post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was influenced with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were built in with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road items ratios by which all and change 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 competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both widely used 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 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. In addition they agreed that the manufacture of the R75 would stop once production come to 20,200 models, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 each year.

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