Better to make a change, and allow BMW to leave or stay, without it affecting the viability of the series for the future.

Any series is better if the manufacturers are asking to get involved, as opposed to dictating how things should be. F1 is regularly criticised for allowing teams to have too much say over what happens, so why would DTM opt for the same problems?

As I've said before, why would BMW race against itself. There is no marketing value in that, imagine the adverts in monday newspapers "BMW wins again".
