Porsche didn't have them thrown out. BMW met the bare minimum regulations to the letter, and then Porsche lobbied the regulations to be changed, and rather than scramble to sell 1000 cars or race with inferior engines, BMW took their ball and went home. Same thing happened with F1 when BMW was set to sweep the series, regulations changed, recession hit, BMW took their ball and went home to focus on efficient dynamics.
