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.

The only difference between the 2 is that one comes in a BMW box and the other one doesn't -

Pierburg makes the OE pump -

Similar to buying a front tension strut for $250 for "Genuine BMW" made by Lemforder, and Lemforder tension strut for $110 in a Lemforder box
