Battery relocation
I've searched but not really got the answer I'm looking for what do I definitely need to mount my battery in the boot ? Seen people saying fuses,inline kill switch the lot but what should I order ? And how much cable to buy 6 m ?

Buy a BMW cable with terminals and blow off part

youll need
a positive cable to run to the boot
a negative cable to run to a good earth on the chassis
an inline fuse or circuit breaker (your choice) fuses are cheaper and easier to acquire
a 3 way junction box to attach the positive stuff in the engine bay together (starter connection, fuse box connection and your new positive cable going to the boot)
crimps to connect everything together
thats about it from memory

300amp inline fuse is what I'm using, and 0 or 2 gauge wire. 5m length cost me £25 ish I think rated to 340amp.
I bought a battery box for boot and mounted it in the corner bolted down to the floor, and then 2 going into a relay mount behind tail light. But there's all kinds of places whatever suits you! It's easy to do as well!
