SAS Access is the tool for connectivity to either BW or SAP / R3 tables
directly

I've imported ODS objects out of BW into SAS , but not a cube as of yet.
Is there access to the SAP BW cubes???

[1] There is an interface.  SAS has demonstrated it at SUGI.

[2] You'll have to ask your SAS rep about pricing.  I can't even
give you a ballpark number.

[3]  The SAS BW interface is supposed to be even faster than SAP's
own connectivity to its Business Warehouse.  SAS is an SAP Partner, and
as such has access to SAP's internal APIs.
