DIY: Solving a Slow Crank on N52

I solved my slow crank on my 328i and made a video to show exactly how to fix it.

It was neither the battery nor starter.

Enjoy:

My father in law got stranded one day when his ground strap broke completely. Your doesn't actually *look* that bad, but your diagnostic tip with jumper cables is great and obviously proved the problem.

I know this thread is 3 years old.

But, I am having somewhat of the same issue. Mine cranks fast.

Could my issue also be the ground wire?

Here a link to a video of my car:

Looks fairly green! A cheap fix if it cures it...
