That's your positive jump start terminal. For negative, normally JDM cars will ask u to clamp the engine hoist bracket near the spark plugs.. for my E90, there's a dedicated -ve behind the driver's side headlight.If jump start is not recommended, these terminals would not be there.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />It takes some knowledge for jump starting a car.. which terminal to clamp first, which is the best ground lead to clamp, should u leave the "donor" car's engine running, during the clamping of terminals, what to pay attention to.. any fault in the procedure can potentially fry your ECU.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" /> or explodes one of the battery!!Just like taking medicine, take the recommended dosage will be fine... if u empty the entire bottle hoping for a more speedier recovery.... good luck!!</blockquote>
