The Citroën BX, a mid-sized family car produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1983 to 1993, was a striking and innovative vehicle for its time. The BX, designed by Italian designer Marcello Gandini, was known for its aerodynamic shape, which was achieved with the use of a flush-fitting grille and hidden headlights. The car was built on a new platform with independent front and rear suspension and a hydro-pneumatic self-leveling suspension system, providing a comfortable and stable ride. The BX was offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines, ranging from the economical 1.4-liter petrol to the powerful 1.9-liter turbocharged diesel. While some models were criticized for their relatively low power outputs, the BX was generally praised for its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and stylish design. The BX 1988, part of the second generation of the model, saw a number of improvements and updates. The most notable of these was the introduction of a new 1.9-liter petrol engine that offered better performance and fuel economy. The interior was also updated with a new dashboard design and improved trim levels. However, in the late 1980s, the BX began to face increasing competition from other European car manufacturers, and its sales started to decline. Despite this, the BX remained a popular and well-regarded car, particularly in France. The BX played a key role in Citroën's success in the mid-1980s, and its distinctive design and innovative technology left a lasting impact on the automotive industry. The 1988 repair manual would be an invaluable tool for mechanics and enthusiasts seeking to maintain and repair these unique and somewhat quirky vehicles.
