Cost. BMW has already admitted that the super car segment is a very small one with low profits (if any) so while it would be great from an image standpoint, financially it doesn't make sense. Enter Toyota. Having to benefit from having a super car to take on the R8's while only spending a fraction of the cost you normally would on your own, it becomes a very attractive investment.
