Does anyone know the location of the ground cable/earth strap on a 2009 E90 320D?

I saw that photo but I have no idea where to look. I had a look under the car but couldn't spot it anywhere.

Only reason why I want to have a look is I have read somewhere changing that strap can help improve my DAB which seems to be cutting out constantly so wanted to check the condition of the strap.

It's on driver side close to engine mount.

I can't find it. I have covers everywhere which I guess I need to start removing. Any ideas where roughly it would be?

Looking at that drawing I'd say it's somewhere near the starter motor.
