Good morning,
I was wondering whether it was possible to jumpstart a 2005 VW Beetle with a 2007 BMW X3 3.0 SI as the donor car (both are auto)?
Previously, I jumpstarted the VW with a Subaru Legacy and that was fine but I'm not sure whether the amperage is OK.
The jumper cables I have are rated at 200mA - so I think they should be sufficient.

Hi there,
Both vehicles should have 12 volt systems and not pose any problems providing the procedure is correctly followed.
