I was just quoted $400.00 to replace a corroded strap by the dealership (228iX out of warranty). Seems outlandish to me - easy to access, $50 part...anyone else?

I have always replace straps like that when they fail with a left over peace of car stereo power wire and crimped and solder on ring terminals. If you have a local car stereo shop near buy they will likely have a peace of scrap wire from an install that they could crimp some ends on for under $20 it will be better than oem

please explain how an oem braided ground strap could be any better than using a peace of high quality ground cable in this application. It will flex well and do to the high quality of a silicone based cover will not degrade like the pictured ground wire leading to increased resistance and failure of the ground.
