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

Within the 1930s BMW were creating a volume of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in response to a need from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were run by the 750 cc side valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 unit. This OHV engine 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 linked to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. These were fitted with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road products ratios through which all four and invert gears performed. 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 rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both extensively employed by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period 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 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 decided that the produce of the R75 would stop once production reached 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 target of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach stock was so badly damaged by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. An additional 98 models were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
