Yes they supplied cars to Hitler, they also had Jews do forced labor.

Fun fact, the only reason BMW was building cars was due to the Treaty of Versailles (the treaty that ended WWI), in it BMW (as well as any other German manufacturer) was banned from making warplanes (at the time warplanes and warplane engines was BMW's bread and butter).

To this day, it'd be illegal for BMW to build a warplane.
