Someone please correct me if I am wrong. This is what my experience was. The amazon cable did work, but it kept on disconnecting intermittently.
i think you are right, at least I have heard others on this forum say the same thing. I think my dealer assumed the "combox" came with the F30 Tech pkg, just like the F10s. I asked him to prove this and he told me not to worry, I guess he will owe me a Y-cable...or I will just keep the FREE one that came with my Z4. kind of ridiculous they charge for this, I would understand charging for a replacement, but I got a FREE T-cable with my e92, e89, e70????
