The BMW R75 is a World War II-era motorcycle and sidecar blend made by the German company BMW.

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

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

The third side-car wheel was motivated with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were built in with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road gear ratios by which all and reverse gears performed. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most areas. Additional 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 broadly 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 Military, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually creating 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. They also decided that the make of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 items, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 each year.

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