The BMW winged badge is an adaptaion of the rover one, the BMW has angled wing tips rather than the rounded tips of the rover example.

There was a variation of it as a bonnet badge on the Austin Coopers. The "wings" were small and were under the Austin Cooper name. I have one of these badges in my collection.
