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

Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a amount of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in reaction to a request from the German Military.

Preproduction types of the R75 were powered with a 750 cc area valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 product. This OHV engine unit later became the foundation for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was motivated with an axle connected to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. These were fitted with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road products ratios by which all and change 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 widely utilized 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 building a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (selected the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also arranged that the make of the R75 would stop 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 until the Eisenach manufacturer was so badly destroyed by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. A further 98 units were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
