You sure?A friend who owns a car parts shop told me every 30k km it is recommended to be replaced.

thats overkill unless you live in an area where the fuel is potentially not that clean.
sputtering or loss of power are give aways to a failing filter. I just did 180k kms on my original filter using only premium fuels and I had no reason to replace it. Just did for maintenance and honestly I was going to check out the brake lines for corrosion so may as well go balls deep in the job, and it WAS a good practise to do since I was in there fixing up stuff anyhow. peace of mind I guess. 30k kms is wayyyyyy too often in Canada... Not sure about Bulgaria tho.

I have a 2005 4.8is it may be different but the clips are quick release clips. All you do is push in/down on the blue clip and it releases. You do not take it apart and there is no need to replace them. Other than that this DIY was very helpful, thank you to the OP.

I did this on my 2001 3.0i today. Bought the Dorman clips so I'd be ready, but this one did not use any clips. Just fuel hose, so I used new hose clamps. I replaced the 3" section of vacuum hose. Mahle KL96 filter matched the original that came out. 170k miles with no issues beforehand.

If you don't have a selection to choose from in hand already, you could buy your new filter and then buy some hose to match the diameter of the air connector on there. For me (Mahle KL96 filter), I'll guess it was about 1/8" inner diameter on the hose.

Does the 2003 3.0L X5 use the same exact fuel-filter part, and replacement process? Fuel filter installed in the same location?
