Welcome Edmund. Gotta agree with the others - my dream BX is a Hurricane, but what's under the bonnet and condition have to be more important. I think you can still get away - with BXs - with deciding on a colour you won't buy (for me, that's white - they look gorgeous, but I have no undercover parking so the car would just always look filthy) - but setting your heart on exact spec is a good way to get frustrated and have to wait way too long.
Good luck though

Then the bumpers wouldn't match....
Only 2 red BXs? I thought there were more than that!
And 'Caffiend' not too fussed by what's under the bonnet, I can handle that. It's the perfect base of a car I would like to start from. A total restoration though I would like to avoid!! (This time).
Wish I had never sold my last BX now, didn't appreciate how 'new' it felt. Nothing rattled or squeeked (I thought all BXs must be like this!)

Here's a clue... You can also add pictures from Facebook, or other images on the internet, by right clicking on them, selecting 'Copy image location' and pasting it between the

I used to have a silver BX 14RE (2 years or so ago), and have been offered a red 19D, but I want a blue BX! These don't seem to come around very often... does anyone know of one that might be up for sale soon? Ideally should be another 14, though would consider a 17TD or 19D, can't be any fussier than blue!! Though I think I would pass if it were an automatic. The perfect car sold on here / ebay end of last year!
My Ami 6 saloon is doing my head in currently and should've been laid up for winter ages ago. Miss the overwhelming comfyness.
Hi and welcome to the BXC !
If you liking BLUE click THIS BXC thread which will then has links to the XM forum and then open up further links to view some nice Olympic Blue Citroen's (Towards the end of the slide-show)
It may wet your appetite for one, but has already been stated you may have a looooong wait ?
Welcome Edmund and I think you are quite right to at least ask for a blue one if that is your prefered colour, the chances of an instant hit are slim but if you don't ask you won't stand a chance. At the end of the day colour is a very important factor in your satisfaction of owning a car, I personally hate red BX's (althought there are some nice ones in the piccies above) and would not consider one under any circumstances. I wanted another silver one but they have evaded me when I was looking so currently own a white one and this one;

Even the grey bumpers match it perfectly! And it's diesel! Would've offered a swap if i still had my old silver one; that was equally as clean and beautiful.

The one on the left is my Olympic Blue 16TRS and the other is Jane's aka "Merlyn" Ice Blue 16TXI Auto.
It took me a while to get olympic blue car (my fave colour), it wasnt the spec (19TZS would be my first choice) I wanted so fitted alloys, better bumpers, better interior etc, thankfully the car itself was pretty mint with 43000 miles and is rust free.
