BMW is not expected to return to Formula 1 in the near future.
The German car giant pulled out of F1 at the end of last year, insisting that its focus would instead be directed towards "sustainability and environmental compatibility".
In 2013, F1 will install a new engine formula, featuring small turbo 4-cylinder units with an emphasis on energy-recovery KERS technology.
But when asked whether that would entice BMW back on to the grid, former BMW-Sauber team principal Mario Theissen said: "Don't expect that."
Instead, BMW is focusing on Le Mans-style sports car programmes and probably the German DTM series.
"When we pulled out [of F1], this was a decision for many years, because it takes many years to put something together like this," added Theissen.
"And the main reason was that we wanted to focus on production car racing instead of formula car racing."
