No, as others noted above a C clamp works fine. The special tool you are referring to is for the style of brake caliper that applies the handbrake on the main pads; in those cases the piston needs to be 'screwed' back in to the caliper due to the new thicker pads. Since BMW uses a separate drum brake for the handbrake, the rear calipers are the same design as the fronts.
