DTM has no privateers. They are all full works teams. If BMW had any will they could transfer all the marketing money into R&D to compete in GT500. Well, maybe add some more, but not that critical amount. It would all return in media more rapidly then they have today in DTM loosing positions.
Looks like they are afraid of constructors' competition. After years of spec racing in Europe - I suppose - they've lost the spirit required for some open rivalry. And we now see the cost of Berger's word about DTM and GT500 equality. DTM is nowhere near to normal racing machinery, and Berger's words cost nothing.
