That also seems to be mandated by the rules (BMW partnered with Dallara):

Companies will not need to design an entire race car from scratch; instead, each LMDh car starts off with a chassis (or spine) from one of four approved manufacturers—Dallara, Ligier, Multimatic, and Oreca.

(or maybe I'm reading this wrong, and the actual exterior design is still done by BMW - M Motorsport in that case. One could argue that they should then be put in charge for other BMW products, but I guess it would quickly become a manpower problem, as this LMDh thing is a one-off)
