Peter,
I believe you are correct. This is also true of certain hardtops, side
curtains and will bet a few other less know items, special tuning options for
instance. In the U.S. (So. Calif.) some BMC dealers offered these items and
called them factory options. Our understanding is that these options did not
void the BMC warranty but do not have any data to support that information.
However we do recall seeing U.S. made hardtops and a number of other do da's
being offered as "factory options" and it is for certain that BMC had no
knowledge of these offerings. It was a different time where the buyer needed
to be informed or beware.
