I agree if it's just $20. But how does that $199 item compare to this $389 one from the same vendor, same regular price, same BMW part number?:
BMW X5 Fuel Pump Assembly OEM 16116755043

Typo? Part numbers are the same except for an A. Could it be that they sell the $199 one without a fuel pump? The $389 seems to be around what I was looking at as an option when I just bought the pump.

If it really is $199 for the Pierburg everything, that is a steal. Anyone considering doing the pump as pre-emptive repair might want to move on this if it is legit.
