They will probably answer the question themselves, but IMO that solution would only work on a race car where you don't need any of the other electronics... The DME/ECU is connected to all of the other modules in the car in a web of electronic components. Loose the DME and the rest of the modules won't work. The DCT would also need to have a standalone module and other components such as wipers, AC, navigation etc would not work anymore AFAIK...
BMW also use something called flexray which is some sort of canbus system or addition to the canbus. Getting a standalone ECU to communicate with the flexray and canbus would require a a insane amount of R&D I'm afraid.
But, maybe I'm completely wrong here
