The cable size I would say 70mm2 to be on the safe side of things. 50mm2 might be a little bit small as it's a fair run.

I used 0gauge wire I'd already got wired in from the old stereo system. Ran the wire thru the bulkhead via the spare grommet under the abs ecu & originally down the sill (now goes down the transmission tunnel)
Plenty of gromet holes to push new cable through. Mine is behind the front passenger seat in the 850.

The thing is any of the car maker will get the cables made to the the size required down to the mm2 that they required,to save weight & costs.
But if you go and buy battery cable it will be 35mm2 or 50mm2 or 75mm2 ,you don't get much choice over the counter, on a 10m roll.
