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.

Actually, if you live in Germany you find that almost everything they make can be dissasembled to the smallest detail and repaired...just warmed my heart when I lived there.
