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

Inside the 1930s BMW were producing a number of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in reaction to a request from the German Military.

Preproduction types of the R75 were powered by way of a 750 cc part valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 unit. This OHV engine unit later became the foundation 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. These were installed with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road equipment ratios by which all and reverse gears performed. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most surfaces. A few other motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its own competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both greatly employed 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 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. In addition they arranged that the produce of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 units, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, developing 20,000 each year.

Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach manufacturer was so terribly harmed by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. A further 98 models were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
