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.
