My Ride: Bmw 530d 2004
I managed to brake off a special bolt, meant for tightening the minus cable into the battery. Shaped like a T.
So I asked the local stealer about the bolt if I could have one. They replied that the bolt can't be bought separately, only with the whole cable set, which is 168? !!!
BMWish I say, arrr!
So I have to figure it out myself, no problem, but anyways.... what the hell?

Geez...
There must be some wrecks where you can get the bolt from...
And sorry about the too long title. It should stand "Do you want to hear something stupid, funny and definitely something BMWish?"

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.

Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
A trip to Home Depot should do the trick. I hope you have one where you are.

That's a bummer...I doubt that you'll be able to get something like that at Home Depot, etc.
Just curious, what part in the following, if any, is that bolt from?

I managed to modify the bolt so that it holds. However, if I could get the right part, that would be better of course.
