Yup, exactly like mine. Just that the hose clamps on mine were crimp clamps, not worm drive/screw clamps. The clamps were one time use.

Oetiker ear clamps is what they are, or at least another brand of that type of clamp. Currently, BMW says to use the worm drive clamps with the smooth barrels and and overlap under the screw mechanism so you don't pierce the fuel line when you get it tight.

The ear clamps are a one time use type of clamp, they have to be replaced with comparable crimp clamp, or the newer style worm clamp.
