In the case of the BMW R 75, this was the modified engine from the R17. This already featured a steel tube frame (the Zündapp KS 750 received a plate frame) and a carburetor for each cylinder. Modifications included sidecar wheel drive, a limited-slip differential, and much larger and wider off-road tires, in addition to all military-specific features such as combat lighting and a special sidecar capable of carrying extra fuel, a spare wheel mounted on the sidecar that was interchangeable all around, and the ability to mount a machine gun mount. The engine was detuned to 26 hp (the R 17 produced 33 hp). Because BMW's entire motorcycle production had been moved to Eisenach (EMW) in 1940, the R 75 was also built there until the factory was bombed. After approximately a year of deployment in the war zones, the Zündapp KS 750 proved to be more suitable than the BMW. At the insistence of the Wehrmacht, BMW and Zündapp decided to use a single universal sidecar in 1942.
