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!

It's different on every car. You need to clarify what car you have

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

If this doesn't work, you could try Cold Fusion

I mean, what could go wrong? Nothing really.
But I love the placebo feeling of saving more fuel. So show me the fuel line love!

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.
