Why do they do this? There aren't 5 cars available, it's 3.

Makes sense to me. There's two categories. One is the 2 featured cars, and then there's the total cars available, which happens to be 3 BMWs. When there's more manufacturers, the proximity of the "Featured" isn't as close as it is here.
It may look goofy, but it's logical.
So the 5 isn't referring to what's available in Featured?
 
This update really has really brought fantastic additions and it actually made me wonder if it’s on the way towards the most complete IMSA/WEC field we’ve seen in any Forza game. We now have 3 current gen LMDHs, a good number of current (or near current before Evo spec) GT3s and a proper field of GTE/GTLM. It’s definitely more complete than FM6’s 2014 IMSA cars.

And the track list with 23 real world circuits is approaching the number of real world environments of Forza Motorsport 7 and with a fantastic variety. Really hoping for Long Beach and Mosport to further flesh out the IMSA calendar.

Yes, there are issues which should be addressed (including wrong manufacturer colours on certain cars and a lack of career) but I don’t think I’ve enjoyed free play races like I have in this Forza Motorsport :)

Good to see some positive posts like this when it seems like everybody keeps bashing the usual AI ( which I dont seem to have much issues with anymore), lackluster career, framerate stuff and RTGI. While it would be nice if sooner or later T10 comes up with some roadmap or explanation of what we have to look forward to because 2025 so far is looking like 2024 all over again, they have made strides outside of the usual. They don't often drop tons of cars or true knockouts but when they do it is great like this update. Hope we have a bunch more IMSA/WEC content to look forward to as well as more content for other divisions and more great tracks whether re-do's or new ones. I'm also looking forward to more career events and permanent ones too, I know that's coming eventually.

Yes, a roadmap would be good.

They delivered on most of their 2024 roadmap but missed their target dates for a few things which haven’t arrived (and haven’t expanded on those or given adjusted timelines).

Roadmaps are hard to put together though (for various game/business reasons related to long-term commitments) but appreciated by core players.

I just realized there is a Lego Speed Champions set of this!
 
I have it and almost done putting together the M V8 Hybrid now. Will post a picture once its done.

Mine's been sitting in a box for months, I finally got myself a shelf mounted on the wall a week ago, was going to finally assemble it over the weekend now that I had somewhere to display it, but then we decided to start to paint the study last weekend, so it came straight back off the wall to start prep.
 
It is a little bit ironic that the vintage BMW series is a better representative of 80s/early 90s touring car, especially in Australia, than last month's Australian touring car series that introduced the VN that had all the Pontiac Trans-Ams (very much not a car that ran in Group A) in the field.

It's a damn shame they didn't go all in on a "Group A Heroes" series with all the representative cars they have from the era.

Think of it, you've got:

BMW M3
BMW 635CSi
Ford Sierra Cosworth
HDT VK Commodore Group A
Holden VL Commodore Group A SV
Holden VN Commodore Group A SV
Mecedes 190E 2.5 16 Evo II (I know more DTM than Group A strictly speaking but still
Nissan R32 GTR Skyline
Nissan Skyline GTS-R HR31

I think it would make for a pretty competitive series if capped at say 550-600P.
