How to charge the battery of a BMW Series 5

Model: BMW Serie 5 E61, E60 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Battery

In this video, we can see how the YouTuber shows us how to restart a BMW Series 5 E60 that has a dead battery. As we know, in this type of vehicle, the battery is located in the trunk: so how do we restart it with a booster or with cables? Naturally, BMW engineers have thought of that. If we open the hood, on the left side (looking at the vehicle from the front, thus in front of the passenger) we find a red cap covering the positive terminal, while the negative terminal is located lower down, near the headlight assembly, and is a simple bolt; but that will be enough to get us going again.
