My car battery died today so I had to get my local AAA to restart my engine for me. I wanted to confirm with you here who owns an E46, that
1) Is our car negative-grounded vehicles? (I believe so)
2) the jump starter's manual says to connect its Positive (+, red color) clamp to the Positive terminal on the battery, and to connect the Negative(-, black color) clamp to the vehicle's chassis or engine block (i.e. do not connect to the carburetor, fuel lines , or sheet-metal body parts). On the Negative clamp, can I connect that to the Negative terminal of the battery or do you guys recommend somewhere else since we are talking about the trunk area of the E46? I did not pay close attention to the AAA fellow when he connected this this Negative clamp.
Thanks.
