I passed by this this afternoon in the pouring rain; it does look nice. I hope to get back for another look in the dry in the next few days. From me it's down single track roads with grass up the middle with not much in the way of passing places and lots of blind bends with nowhere to escape to (or go a long way aroound)
previous- GS, Visa, 19DTR, 4x4, now ZX 1.9D and 1985 BMW M5

The 318is is a wicked machine, you can drive it properly, but the BX is more of a wolf in sheeps clothing. And when your in sheeps clothing, you cant really be driven hard, but you do get more attention! Anyway, here are some more pics:

Very very nice looking car

but why has it needed a heater matrix twice, that would possibly indicate that the engine water has not been regulary changed, maybe ?
51490m - 19.1.06 - Replace heater matrix
08.10.06 - New battery
52390m - 10.1.09 - Replace ignition switch and heater matrix

dont know...tbh its more than likely the previous owner being way over the top and paranoid. thats the kind of guy he was...plus there was seemingly 3 years between the jobs. the car is completely fine and you cant pick any holes in it! its a goodun'

Sadly I live in the Midlands and have no space for 2 BX's.

If I llived in the West country and had space for another BX, I'd be there to look for sure :!:

Its a beauty and no mistake but its not a diesel, so you will struggle to sell it on here sadly.
Lots of Motors, mostly semi broken....
