Planning on doing this on my Z3 3.0 and purchased the filter.. I've watched a couple of videos on how to do it and concerned that given the rubber hoses are now 22 years old disturbing them will probably damage them.

Have you seen the ridiculous prices for genuine replacements??.. I cannot imagine they are anything special. Any idea what size fuel hose it is to buy generic.. I note there is also a much thinner hose that also attaches to the filter.. Any ideas on the diameter?

Just in case anyone is reading this and wants to replace the vacuum hose the internal diameter of the hose needed is 3mm and you need about 3 inches of it either in rubber or you can use modern silicon hose
