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

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

Preproduction models of the R75 were run by way of a 750 cc aspect valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 unit. This OHV engine motor later became the foundation 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 trunk wheel of the motorcycle. These were fixed with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road equipment ratios by which all and invert gears proved helpful. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most areas. A few other 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 over time 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 after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually creating a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (specified the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they arranged that the production of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 units, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, developing 20,000 every year.

Since the concentrate on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach factory was so badly ruined by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. An additional 98 products were constructed by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
