Leather?
Leather?
Were many BX's equipped with leather interiors? I don't remember ever seeing one, but they seem to be referred to here. I think estate wise, I'd rather have a CX or an XM, for sheer size, which means that my ideal BX becomes a Turbo diesel hatch with the best possible spec. Mr B's former car, with a leather interior, in fact. Pipe dream?

Looks nice! See, in a black or red TZD turbo.......wouldn't it?
Of course, if most of the hardcore fan base thinks it looks crap, then I'd be in with more of a chance. I'd be tempted by a GTi as a hooligan car, but frankly, I'd rather have a CX GTi Turbo 2 for that, and it'd need gas then before I could really use it much. Really good TZD in black or red is the ticket, and look for the leather later. All that said, a GS and a CX are probably still further up the list; it all depends what comes along though, doesn't it?

In France, the leather was unavailable even optional on bx estate ,but I installed it on my TZI because the seats and doors panels of saloons and estates are the same!Only leather seats available on bx estate were by the buffalo's option by Heuliez , in black "classic" leather as the citroen option , or in beige with specif seats and door panels !

Leather was always an option, but it was a bloody expensive option..
My valver has leather, and yes, it looks very cool.
But as Ian said, it's actually a PITA given that it's hard to stay in the seat when you're giving it beans.
Oh, and whilst TD's are great cars, the ultimate BX ride is, was, and always will be a 16v.

Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

For hooligan driving, that may be right. For long, long days on the motorway, I'd think a high spec diesel wins. In other news, I'm pleased to see I'm not the only person who combines Citroens with Buses!
