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

Within the 1930s BMW were producing a number of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in response to a submission from the German Army.

Preproduction models of the R75 were power by way of a 750 cc area valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine. Nonetheless it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 product. This OHV engine motor later became the foundation for following 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 trunk wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding fixed with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road gear ratios through which all and change gears worked. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most areas. 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 utilized by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period 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 creating a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (designated the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they agreed that the production of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 models, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 each year.

Since the goal of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach manufacturing plant was so badly harmed by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 products were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
