To jump start a 325i BMW open the hood and locate the battery. On the battery you will find a positive and a negative sign. Take your red cable and clamp it to the positive post on the battery on the support vehicle and then do the same on BMW. Take the black cable and clamp it onto the support vehicles ground post, then connect to the ground post on the BMW. Start the support car and let it run for a few minutes to build up the BMW's battery some. After waiting a few minutes then try to start the BMW, once started remove the cables from both cars and close the hoods.
I have a 2006 325i and i have jumped it.

Hook the red cable to the red jump start post, under the hood, passenger side. Hook the black cable to the metal stud under the hood pass side.
A cable booster also known as a jumper cable is used to connect with a discharged battery to a power source to jump start the vehicle. This is used when your vehicle can't start up.
1993-1997 you hook the cables to the battery. 1998-2004 you hook the cable to the jump start posts under the hood, passenger side.
Electricity passes through the cable. As it passes through the cable, the electricity will encounter resistance. This is what causes an electrical cable to heat up.
Yes, just be careful what the cable ends touch.
With this symptom, if you tried to jump start the car it would start. The answer was a corroded Black/Cable going to the Negative terminal of the Battery.
check your battery connections
Most GM vehicles use side terminal batteries. To jump start one, you connect the + cable to the + side post, and the -Neg to the engine.
You can jump the BMW 325i however there are some precautions listed in the Bentley manual. While hooking up the jumper cables hook up the positive one to the battery or the power box ( engine compartment passenger side-all those black cables ) and the negative one to the body of your car ( not the negative post ). The manual also says to turn on your blower motor and headlights before trying to start the car.
