    Anybody know how to replace the ground strap on a 535xi?

    I can see it and it’s brittle and green... and I’m getting occasional slow starts. Thought it would be simple, but I have no idea how to get to it to replace it.
    RIP Jess or the idea of Jess or... what OT was.. or whatever...

    That’s a robust site... I’ve been poking around for 30 minutes and can’t find it

    Is it not accessible from below if you remove the underbody protection?

    Yes that looks like it. I have all the plastic down.. I can see it clearly. 1 end is easily accessible.. the other not so much.
