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

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

Preproduction models of the R75 were power by the 750 cc aspect valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 product. This OHV engine later proved to be the basis for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was motivated with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were fitted with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road items ratios through which all and change gears did the trick. 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 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 making 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. In addition they arranged that the make of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 devices, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 every year.

Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it remained in production before Eisenach manufacturing plant was so badly destroyed by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. A further 98 units were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
