You're not the first to be caught out. From what I remember, this is a fairly accurate description of the BfC designations...

Quote:

Note on Bf and Me Designation System

The RLM official changed from the Bf to Me designation after the Bf 162. The Bf 162 was an unsuccesfull competitor in the Luftwaffe's Schnellbomber competition in the late 1930s. It was beaten by the Junkers Ju 88. Sometimes, the numbers were used twice if they had been used for an unsuccesfull type. So, the number 162 was used by Heinkel for the He 162 Volksjager.

So, all aircraft before the number 162 (i.e. Bf 109, Bf 110) are designated with Bf and all aircraft adter 162 (i.e. Me 163, Me 262) are designated with Me.

In fact, there was a Bf 163. This was a high - wing STOL monoplane, a design competing with the Fieseler Fi 156 Storch and similar in layout. Only one Bf 163 was built. The number was next used for the Me 163 Komet. A further exception was the Me 155, which was developed as a naval fighter for the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin. When the carrier programme was cancelled, the project was taken over by Blohn und Voss as the BV 155 and developed further as a high - altitude interceptor. So, there never was a Bf 155.

From a quick Google search:
The correct way to write the name of the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke Messerschmitt designed fighter is Bf 109, without any dash. The Bf prefix was held for the 110 as well throughout the war. The Me prefix was used for the others aircraft like the 210/410, 163, 262, 309, etc. The prefix change was due to a company reorganization that happened on July 11, 1938. Bayerische Flugzeugwerke company changed into Messerschmitt Flugzeugbau GmbH (Messerschmitt Aircraft Construction). The Bf prefix had already been assigned to the 109 / 110 by then. All new designs started after this date received the "Me" prefix from the RLM
