Where does this beefy wire go?

I'm putting back an 06' R53 and I gave this beefy looking wire coming from that spider harness above the manual transmission.

Can anyone advise where it goes? It's not the one to the starter, that one is already set.

Any ideas?


I'm sorry if the images are huge, I am on my phone.

I would greatly appreciate any help!

Edit: Are there two beefy leads to the Starter?

You've probably already figured it out already but...

I believe it's the Ground for the starter.

That's a ground?! I thought the frame of the starter was the ground and that was the Hot-Lead? Either way, I greatly appreciate this! I was looking for confirmation... beefy wires usually have dire consequences.
