Yes - now that you're asking - there was at least one static
display of a BMW 2 cyl.boxer engine converted to aviation
use in Speyer. Didn't see any on a flying aircraft though. (saw
a nice Porsche installation however - too big for us.)
Here is the contact for a German Firm specializing in BMW
conversions for Aviation:

Their engine is a 1100 cc block, weighs in at 74 kgs and is
said to develop 90 hp (@ 7000 rpm) reduction gear is set
to 3.5 : 1.
Sincerely,
<Thomas, kit # 81>
