$1,200	DIY	New pump ordered from FCP Euro and installed by the owner, 2011 X5 xDrive35i, June 2021	[3]

The two pump prices come from different chassis (an E53 and an E70), so they are not directly comparable.
A hose job and a pump job are different repairs. The 2005 quote is for three hoses; the 2010 prices are for one.
