One other side note, it wouldn't matter if you wanted a GM design, the price would be the same.
I think you mean the development cost? Perhaps.
But the price is greatly affected by projected sales volume.
Do you think you could sell more BBM heads like that? Or BBC heads? That would make the BBC cheaper.

But no one would buy a BBC head at that price, since there are already comparable products much cheaper.
