The fact that 10 years of F1 involvement have earned BMW cars at best the "best of the rest" position, except for mild success with Williams in early 2000s, might have contributed to their pullout. Had Williams and BMW stayed together and succeeded, BMW might not have pulled out of Formula 1 in 2009.

PS: I like Malbec's post. What I find really ironic is that around the world BMW cars are viewed as a "driver's machine", yet BMW doesn't have the motorsport prowess to back up this reputation. BMW's closest competition, Audi and Mercedes, have fared much better in sports.
