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

Within the 1930s BMW were producing a variety of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in respond to a submission from the German Army.

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

The 3rd side-car wheel was powered with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were equipped with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road gear ratios through which all and invert gears worked well. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most surfaces. Additional 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 broadly used 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 Army, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually building 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 make of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 products, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 every year.

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