BMW does not have a F1 division.... they sold it back to Peter Sauber a few years ago we the car market and everything went in the tank. Peter kept the BMW name in place cause BMW did the same for Sauber when they originally bought the team from Peter. The team name now has went back to Sauber-Ferrari. For the last few years with the BMW name in place the team was running Ferrari engines.

BMW dumped 100s of millions into the team and facilities and then did a fire sale back to Sauber for pennies on the dollar... not a great investment.

BMWs tech is at the top of the industry without a supercar Besides to much competition in the supercar market and to only sell maybe a a couple hundred cars a year not worth it.

A true sports car would be another story.
