Show me..... Citroen Bxs

[LAndy]

I must admit these arent the prettyest things in the world but I WANT ONE! Id love to see the look on our lasses face

[nigelbickle]

I have a 4by4(mothballed) and a16vGti -whichmy wife is using (temporarily).
I rate these highly-often use mine as a tow car too. Highly recommended

[dollywobbler]

I love mine. 11,000 miles since Sept 09, including driving it all the way around France. 1.9 diesel so slow, but it'll cruise at 70 all day and do 50mpg. Nice. They make great dailies, but do need a bit more looking after than some. There's always something niggling with mine, but the comfort and trick suspension more than make up for it!

Here's a nice German TRD (sold as DTR here in the UK!)


Mine after a coolant hose split in Western France.


2000metres up on top of a mountain in the Alps.


Brits abroad - tea and cake!

I've got this




ONLY 109000km on it which is silly low mileage for a bx in nz. sadly the last owner punted a curb and has bent the crossmember. not a huge job to sort (I've got all the parts) but time is an issue for me right now hah.
this thing's going to end up with a 309gti 1.9 engine on bike carbs
I absolutely LOVE bx's. they're seriously one of the sweetest cars you could ever own.

[Roobeh]

ah i have a suitable pic.

[stinkwheel]

WTF is happening in that ^^^ pic?

The suspension arms are retained to the suspension hydraulic cylinder by a big pin, they should fall like that when leaving the ground, funny though

Have a pic of my BX.......





Its a 1400 petrol, does 40mpg all day and a ton up top, quite surprising as they feel to be a big car, nice and lightweight though (read thin and french, with plastic bonnet and hatchback to save weight on most models)

Ive had 3 16v's an n/a1.7 diesel and this 1.4 now. Damn good cars.
Some parts are getting hard/very hard to find and expensive but we're used to old cars right?

Oh and mine with the TU engine will take a 1600 saxa VTS or Xantia XM petrolturbo motor or what have you without too much hassle.

[DavidB]

I've always liked these, such a nice looking car!

[DavidB]

Here's a nice one I saw for sale for 395, a GTi, in Halford's car park in Ellesmere Port:

[Harold Ramp Bumface Fandango]

Think that's one of my old ones Violent. Lad lives up your way somewhere and is one of the cards from the BXP.

[stinkwheel]

Unfortunatly i can vouch for the fact that, although they are 4x108, the wolfrace slot mags i have will not fit on these BX's, caliper inerface problems. Which annoyed the hell out me.
Have a group B BX 4TC pic for a giggle.................

[scoobypete]

There was a very early beige one in mint cond at harry bucklands scrapper in chelt recently,had the funny dash etc on it

I got given a 1.9 diesel non turbo one by my dad,used to annoy the neighbours making such a racket whilst heaving itself off the floor in a huge cloud of smoke on cold winter mornins lol ;D

My mate had a white 1.9 GTi 16v one and i remember it being amazingly fast (at the time 1997) )

[VWPowered]

what no BX Sport ;D

[ruffgeezer]

This is the new hog, I'm hoping to get a few bits sorted on her before making it my permenant daily, is it retro yet?

[VWPowered]

i hope so as my polo's only 3 years older lol

Calm down Neil ;-)

Burt seriously, great pics. Now i really want a mk1 BX (ideally a sport or a digit)

[Blown_Imp]

I wonder if that Supertouring BX still had magic suspension?

[stinkwheel]

yes it did:) and hydraulics arent magic, just quite clever

[Blown_Imp]

Ive had a BX and XM, and the suspension is magic, I don't care what anyone says!

[dollywobbler]

Crikey - epic dump Neil! recognise quite a few cars in that lot actually...
