No it won,t it will be a rover engine, but your question makes a change from the "has my 200 got a honda engine"
Since Rover was owned by BMW when your engine was made then yes, it does have a BMW engine 
Of course it is also a Rover engine, originally developed by Austin.

Thanks for that, as this is my first time on the forum, Ihope that you all get my reply
It was originally developed by Rover actually.Since Rover was owned by BMW when your engine was made then yes, it does have a BMW engine

Assuming that it is a K-Series, I think development started under British Leyland ownership and was carried out in the advanced engines department of the Austin Drawing Office at Longbridge. The first production engine was fitted to a Rover Metro, previously known as an Austin Metro.It was originally developed by Rover actually.

Good rule of thumb method:hysteria:Ya know he is an expert due to the skin to facial hair ratio.
Very interesting, but surely the K series is a BL engine, not Austin and not Rover, as development started by BL in 1982, which was rebranded as Rover Group in 1986
And the original K series was a 1.0L lean burn 3 cylinder engine with no cat.
In these days of small efficient engines history could really do with reinveting itself
