Larger displacement = more torque and less stress.
The S55 wouldn't perform nearly as well, which is a perfectly good reason not to use the M4.

Believe it or not, BMW races to win races too, it isn't all marketing...there isn't any point running an inferior car that will sit at the back of the field.
I'm sure they chose what would work best for them. It's racing, not a parade.
Seems like you are forgetting these :
