The BMW R75 is a World Battle II-era motorcycle and sidecar blend 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 reaction to a request from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were powered with a 750 cc side valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 unit. This OHV engine motor later became the foundation for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The third side-car wheel was powered with an axle connected to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. They were fixed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road items ratios by which all four and change gears functioned. 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 extensively 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 after 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 production of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 models, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 20,000 every year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach stock was so terribly destroyed by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 devices were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
