I care because such cars affect the entire model range in terms of design, funding, and performance; the larger the pool of cars, the more resources are diluted.

Besides, a BMW supercar makes no sense unless the car is mid-engined, and BMW would have to create one - an insanely expensive process, and why all the "new M1" rumors are crap. BMW outsourced the original M1, Audi borrows their mid-engine chassis from Lamborghini, and Porsche designed the 986/987 as a modified version of the 996/997 chassis from the get-go to save cost.
