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

Within the 1930s BMW were producing a range of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a need from the German Military.

Preproduction types of the R75 were power by the 750 cc area valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 unit. This OHV engine later proved to be the foundation for following post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The third side-car wheel was driven with an axle connected to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. These were built in with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road gear ratios by which all and invert gears worked. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most areas. Additional motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both broadly employed by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period 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 upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually creating 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 agreed that the manufacture of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 units, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 every year.

Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production before Eisenach manufacturer was so terribly destroyed by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 systems were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
