Because a lot of purists consider RWD to be the proper drivetrain layout. The front wheels are for steering, the rear for pushing. Most if not all high performance race cars are RWD too. The driving dynamics are much better.
Front drive cars can be very, very good, but they run out of potential fast.

I used to have a euro. I loved it and didnt mind the FWD but i'm in an s2k now and will never look at FWD again.

This sums up BMW's philosophy pretty well:
