<![CDATA[E39 540i Starter/Alternator Diagram]]>Does anyone have a diagram of the thick cable that connects to the battery/starter/alternator?

I seem to have misplaced mine and do not recall how it is all hooked up.

The cable comes from the passenger side floor, runs along the subframe, Y's off at the starter, continues along the subframe to the driver's side, and snakes up to the alternator inside of the exhaust. Hope that helps. Sorry, I couldn't get a decent picture.

I was hoping someone with a 540i could take a look and report back.
