It's not really clear how much a BIOS costs since they're not marketed to end users but are sold to motherboard manufacturers. A BIOS is essentially a part of a motherboard. A BIOS is likely to be removable on a modern motherboard and technically it could be possible to replace a BIOS if it went bad or if for some reason it was to be upgraded, but for BIOS upgrades usually it is sufficient to flash (reprogram) the existing BIOS.
