Because those cars, though somewhat niche, will still do far high volumes than a M Supercar would, and therefore generate money... rather than simply use it up.
Seriously, BMW sold far more X4's in the first two months it was on sale than Audi sold R8's ALL last year, and you can bet that it cost BMW less to develop the X4 than it did Audi to develop the R8 --- and crucially Audi don't have to worry so much about loosing money, they are
already owned by VW... a fate I don't much want to happen with BMW.
