Homologation issues. They had it out with IMSA more than once (IIRC) about planting the previous-gen V8 in the Z4 racer when that engine wasn't and isn't offered in the Z4.
So, the M6 GT3 was built so they could use the bigger and more powerful engine and not have those haggles again.
I'm sure that new I6 is a nice piece but can't compete in HP and torque with the S63 race tuned.
The M4 is being used in DTM.
