I did search and verified with real oem and I'm almost certain there is no hose clamps to be replaced but just be sure:
I've replaced plenty of fuel filters on E39 but it was always the old style with clamps and separated pressure regulator.
I have this new style fuel filter and just wanted to confirm there is no hose clamps involved. The link clearly shows quick connect style but real oem isn't 100% accurate all the time. Thanks in advance.
