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

Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a variety of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in response to a demand from the German Military.

Preproduction models of the R75 were driven with a 750 cc aspect valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 device. This OHV engine unit later proved to be the foundation for succeeding 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. They were fitted with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road equipment ratios through which all four and invert gears worked well. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most floors. Additional motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its competitor 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 Military, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually making a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (designated the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they decided that the make of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 products, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, developing 20,000 every year.

Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach manufacturer was so badly damaged by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 products were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
