I think that is terrific! Looking at the way the parts are designed, it seems made to be disassembled and fixed rather than a disposable subassembly that is "Not Servicable By Owner".

All the little bits must have been designed by a series of graduate engineers locked in a dungeon, working for a number of years to attain a promotion that gets them onto a floor with windows. Then some specialist company had to quote price and delivery for a bag full of little rubber boots, or brass contacts or cast black plastic. Then some other company quoted price and delivery to assemble the discrete bits into a working assembly that was delivered to and eventually bolted onto a handlebar at BMW.

With that degree of tiny detail and bespoke parts, it is no wonder that these relatively low production machines cost so much.
