i think BMW's decision was about money and resources.
unless FOTA can supply BMW with 100 engineers free of charge, i dont see how they can help.
BMW's problem isnt money or resources, its that they are SUCKING! Its hurting their image
3 cars would be cool but they would have to monitor that there is no internal team favoritism

But just like honda, they used the excuse of the economy downturn, saying that it's no longer feasible to run a team in F1. Which is a complete BS with the up coming cost cutting measures.Originally posted by Pollywog

Again, they abandoned their 2008 car to get an early start on the 2009 car. Which was highly criticized by the media and their own drivers. And look at where they are right now? they cant even beat Force India.... qualifies on the last row
BMW didn't use the economy, read up on their press conference.
And they wanna go green I guess...Dr. Klaus Draeger, member of the board who is responsible for development, said this season's poor results had played a part in the move to quit F1.
"It only took us three years to establish ourselves as a top team," he said. "Unfortunately, we were unable to meet expectations in the current season."
I'd hate to be on their marketing team trying to spin that shit off."Premium will increasingly be defined in terms of sustainability and environmental compatibility. This is an area in which we want to remain in the lead. In line with our Strategy Number ONE, we are continually reviewing all projects and initiatives to check them for future viability and sustainability. Our Formula 1 campaign is thus less a key promoter for us."
Basically, insiders have said that BMW had a target to win the championship this year. With them nowhere near, the plug was pulled.

well you're right, they didnt blame it on the economy and pretty much just said they straight out sucked and quit.
