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

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

Preproduction types of the R75 were powered by way of a 750 cc side valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 unit. This OHV engine later became the basis for following post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was influenced with an axle connected to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding equipped with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road gear ratios by which all and reverse gears performed. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most surfaces. A few other motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its own rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both greatly used 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 Army, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually building 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 decided that the production of the R75 would stop once production come to 20,200 units, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 every year.

Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach manufacturing plant was so badly destroyed by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 models were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
