Money could be an explanation but the rumor says only 200 Supras will be so equipped which is immaterial money to BMW.
On Toyota's front, Gazzoo Racing (GRMN brand) supposedly sits at the top of the performance spectrum for Toyota to showcase their performance technology ingenuity, so how good would that ingenuity be if they have to borrow the key component - the engine - from another manufacturer? Like BMW M using an AMG engine, that would be brand kamikaze!

Very simple - BMW is bleeding money and Toyota has plenty of cash.
