Because Polyphony Digital didn't put them in there.

There are brands that are off worse than BMW. Actually, there are whole countries which have less cars in the game than BMW does 
Either way, both cars are pretty common for track use, so, yeah, I'm missing the E30 and E36 as well. Quite a bit, actually.
That's a no, by the way. A big no.

Just read the official car list.

Exactly, this thread actually has some merit to it.
How hard would it have been to add TWO BMW's instead of another dozen skylines or 20 imprezas.
And you are completely right, the BMW M-motorsport lineage, history and cars are more world renown than the GTR or it's history. (outside of japan of course)

Simple. Polyphony, when they put a car in the game, has to do an extensive photo shoot. In the past for GT4, they had to take pictures of the car outside, then do extensive revving and racing and such to capture the car sounds. This takes up to six months.
Now, imagine them doing that, but they ALSO have to flip the car over to take pictures of the underside. Not to mention they also have to take pictures of the interior, and then model those as well. That majorly extends the time it takes.
The reason is probably simple: either Polyphony didn't think of it, or they didn't have time to do it.

I want more GT1 cars!
Some BMW Nurburgring racers would be great too 👍

I'm glad others feel the same. I'd go crazy if I saw an E36 M3 sedan 
E39 or E34 M5's would be cool to see and drive as well.

In all seriousness, there are numerous Japanese cars that (IMHO) should be premium (or even in the game) and aren't.
Quick list of cars that don't exist even in standard form:
Nissan: S12 and & S10 Silvia, any Cedric/Gloria, any Leopard, Pulsar GTI-R & VZ-R, any Cefiro, 2nd gen Primera.
Mazda: Any Mazdaspeed edition car other than the 6 concept, 323GTX, MX-3, MX-6, RX-2, RX-3, 1st gen RX7.
Subaru: XT, Loyale GT
Mitsubishi: Eclipse GSX, Starion
Toyota: Mark II
And for the 500th time...the "30 Skylines" amounts to a total of 4 or 5 different in-game models with minor variations. Not the same thing as 30 unique models. And there is only one duplicate premium GT-R within a generation (the '07 R35 and the '09 R35 SpecV).
