To split and/or reduce cost as much as possible. There's a reason why BMW hasn't gone into this segment, that is, it's cost prohibitive. This is no secret and BMW has already stated this as the reason why which is why there was that joint program with Toyota. It's not that BMW needs the knowledge or expertise of another company, they're fully capable of doing everything in-house, but being an independent, why wouldn't you try to offload costs?
