Pretty sure BMW never made any V2 rocket engines on the site, or in fact made/supplied any component parts for them either, as these were all made in 'secret' works to avoid Allied bombing, and the BMW engine plant was already a high profile target because of the BMW 801 radial used in the Fw190.

BMW did make the BMW 003 turbojet engine on the site, used in the He162 and the later 4 x engined Ar234 bomber.

Yes, I know of the 003 & 801 engines. But I remember seeing, was a small rocket engine on display at a few museums - here in Germany. One might have been at BMW, but in looking at my old photos I can't seem to find the pic of what I remember. I can only recall it was a very small engine(really circular chambers). Say less then three feet by two feet in size. Could have sworn it was for the V1 but in looking on line its not. On my next visit to BMW, I'll try to look for what I remember seeing there.
