I'm trying to locate the fuel hose into the engine (which feeds the fuel into the engine obviously); but not having luck due to my unfamiliarity with engines.
Does anyone know? Or can provide a photo with an arrow showing where it is. Reason why I'm asking is I am going to install one of those magnetic fuel
saving/performance devices.
Much appreciated!

Read these sites before bothering to try and install it. Like that Tornado intake system, it seems to be a scam.

The reason why these fuel saving magnets actually work is because you want to believe that you are saving fuel. So you drive a little less speedy without even really noticing it. 
I would tell you where the fuel line is but I have a 545i and I am not familar with the 530's engine room.
