You may be able to source a longer cable from another model but that will take some research and might not even be an option.
The easy-button here is to return the Optima and buy an OE battery, especially since you're in a rush.

It would just be nice to have to ti running just in case something happens to the MINI that I need the ti.
Also would there be away to go to the BMW dealer and see if I could get a longer negative cable? |
