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

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

Preproduction types of the R75 were powered by the 750 cc area valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine motor. 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.
