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

Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a quantity of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a question from the German Military.

Preproduction models of the R75 were run with a 750 cc area 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 for the R75 device. This OHV engine later proved to be the foundation for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was motivated with an axle linked to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. These were equipped with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road equipment ratios through which all and reverse gears worked. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most floors. 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 greatly 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 Military, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually building a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (selected the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also decided that the make of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 systems, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 each year.

Since the concentrate on 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 development ceased in 1944. An additional 98 models were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
