hi there!! great vid. i have a 2006 318i e90. i had the starter replaced about a week ago and battery test showed the battery was perfect, now it has trouble starting, is the just one ground ? i have been told there may be 2? also any ideas as to where the second ground is . thanks and keep up the great vids :)

Dude you are a life saver! Thank you so much.

Do I need to unplug the negative battery cable before replacing the ground cable?

How many engine grounds straps are there? I'm doubling it with 0 guage wire

Have you ever removed the engine ground strap under the car on the drivers side. And if so how did you remove the nuts?

like it and have you got a video on a 2e7c fault code not starting

My 06 e90 been slow starting for a while. Specially when cold. Has new battery and alternator. Last night when i went yo start it, it cranked very slow but did not start. Had to jump start. Could it be those ground cables?

What gauge are you using and what size eyelet

Hahahaha the heaten hotten!!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Absolutely awesome mate 👌 👍 👏

When fitting the ground cable on, which side do yo bolt on first, to the engine or chassis? Assuming one acts as a +ve and the other as a negative

Actually lot easier get at than my E60 535d but same principle 👍🏻😉I replaced mine with genuine bmw strap worked fine after around 6 starts (same ) as before ? Won’t crank won’t start. 🤔

Excellent video. Any idea for N20 F30 where the engine ground wire location is?

Do anybody know What cable it’s called if I wanted to buy it new

Hi mate very informative video. On a 320D e90 how many are there and where abouts are they located? M47 engine

Hey i work as a cable assembler, my job has these ring terminals and braid to make one. What side braid do you recommend? Thanks

What size are the nuts?

You're hilarious 😂 😆

dude my o8 535 is giving a no start after i changed the battery because of low charge how to i reactivate stop start button

Would an n54 have the top ground strap as well or does it have only the bottom

how do you diagnose whether it's a ground/battery or starter issue?? I just had my start replaced (BMW X1), the issue was that it would just click and not start...prior to that it was slow to start, sometimes had to hit it twice.....multiple clicks in rapid succesion would eventually get it going. So I'm assuming it was a starter solenoid issue and not ground or battery, hence replacing the starter, but now I'm second guessing it.... so if it's a ground or battery issue, you just won't get any clicks at all then I'm assuming because no current flow?

Can't belive this actually worked for me lmao

My 2011 e90 won’t crank or make any sound at all . All lights/power comes on but no start. I replace the starter not even 2 months ago so I don’t think that’s the issue. Any advice ?can this cable be the issue?

Always with the BMWs lol

ok i can buy one of these 2010 BMW x3 next week for 2k. they said it started then it didnt and they think its the battery cable. this looks like a cheap fix! I might be in for a great deal :) !!

I have e92 n55 could this be why A reason why I get no start? It just clicks one time

Good video , need help 08 328xi e92, having valtronice issue , main code 2a38 , i change motor , relay, eccentric shaft sensor , all wiring looks good , ran good for week n half , then yesterday limp mode again code 2a38 any idea , getting frustrated , with this code

I have two straps but it appears the one on the driver's side is severely fray'ed. My car will start or crank and the starter itself is fine. Will just having one broken cause the car to not start? I'm waiting for a replacement cable now but wondering if that will fix the issue. Everything else appears to work correctly.

mine is black. can i use 4 gauge amp kit wire?

That's not the engine grounding. The engine grounding strap is attached to the starter and the frame passenger side. That's the radio anti-interference strap
