You can test the battery charger in the converter to see if it's working properly. Unplug the shore power, and test the battery voltage with a digital volt/ohm meter. Fully charged at rest, with no load on it will be 13.6 volts. Plug in the shore power, and check the volts at the battery again, and it should be a maximum of 14.4 volts. If so, the charging side of the converter's working fine.
I'm no help on where the battery cable ground is located on your particular 5er. It could be anywhere on the framework, starting in the area of the battery box. Maybe someone else will stop in here, and help.
