F23 M235xi Ground strap location(s)?

What's up 2addicts. 12 years after selling my beloved 2008 135i, I'm back in the smallest (best?) BMW: 2016 BMW M235xi convertible.



I got the car from a Copart auction (always fun) and it wouldn't start (also would not go into park). I figured it was a ground for no-start so hooked up jumper cable between engine/ground and it fired right up.



I finally had a chance to poke around on it today and I found the ground strap between transmission and body (rough shape but still connected -- see pic).


Is there another ground strap on this car? I could not find a definitive answer for the N55 F22. Thanks!


Todd



PS Failure to go into park was due to the neutral switch bolt being engaged. Loosened the bolt and voila it went into park
