I think you are making a bit of a straw man here. An entry level nissan delivery vehicle has less electronics than the new i5 BMW is not a reasonable comparison.
For this to be a reasonable comparison of vehicles, you have to say that the top of the range i5 has more electronics than the top of the range hybrid or top of the range ice only BMW 5 series (which it does not). The electronics of the ice only 5 series is just as connected to the infotainment unit as the all electric BMW i5.
The electric motor will have fewer serviceable components than the ice unit, and will be cheaper to replace










I don’t know what the other side of this looks like, but if you could drive it with an impact driver on the lowest setting (assuming you used copious amounts of anti seizing spray), the constant hit from the impact driver is great at loosening stuff up. Also, try get painters tape between the wood and the domes head. Then flip it over, apply weight to the domed head by pressing it against your bench top (more tape on the bench top), and that gives a surprising amount of friction.
