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

In the 1930s BMW were producing a number of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a get from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were powered with a 750 cc area valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine unit. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 unit. 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 driven with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were built in with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road items ratios by which all four and invert 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 widely 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 Army, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually making a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (chosen the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they arranged that the produce of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 products, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 every year.

Since the goal of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it remained in production before Eisenach stock was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. An additional 98 devices were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
