The netpbm utilities would be a good place to start.
bmptoppm <file> | ppmtojpeg > <file.jpg>
So if they are all in one directory you could do this:
find /path/to/bmps \
-printf "bmptoppm %p | ppmtojpeg > %p.jpg" > convert.sh
check out convert.sh to see if it looks good then run it!
WARNING: I didn't test the command.
