Starting Systems - Overview: Wiring BMW Z4 E85/E86 facelift

Cable and Wiring Harness

Cables to the starter from the battery must carry large amounts of current. The wiring harness from the ignition switch and/or EWS carry little current as they are control signals to a relay or starter solenoid. Minimum voltage drop in starter cables is necessary to ensure sufficient starter speed and torque.
