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

Within the 1930s BMW were creating a number of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in response to a submission from the German Military.

Preproduction types of the R75 were powered by way of a 750 cc aspect valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine motor. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 product. This OHV engine later became the foundation for subsequent 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 equipped with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road equipment ratios by which all and change gears did the trick. 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 competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both generally 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 Military, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually making a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (selected the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also decided 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, developing 20,000 each year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it remained in production before Eisenach manufacturing plant was so terribly destroyed by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. An additional 98 devices were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
