Later, the BX SPORT was added to the standard range. At the same time, the three colours Rouge Vallelunga (red), White and Black were added.

 

The BX SPORT is very special and has a specific equipment:

– Rectangular exhaust outlet

– Citroën-logo ("chevrons") on the bonnet, radio antenna and boot button are painted in black

– "BX SPORT" emblem and stickers

– Center of the boot is painted in black

– No third side windows ("custodes")

– No rubber side mouldings

– Specific interior (black; some parts in common with the BX 19 GT model year 1986)

– Specific steering wheel

– Specific gearstick

– Specific odometer (related to the one in the BX 19 GT / BX 19 TRI (1986) phase 1 / BX 19 TRS Break phase 1)

– Tinted windows

 

– Officially, no options were available. But very few BX SPORT with options like an electric sunroof or third side windows are known.

 

– Modifications on the hydropneumatic suspension (in French): "La suspension a été adaptée aux nouvelles performances : sphères de 400 cm3 avec membrane Desmopan, tarage de 55 bars à l'AV et 30 bars à l'AR, amortissement spécifique et nouvelles butées de débattement."

– Modifications on thé engine (in French): "Dérivé du XU9S de la BX19GT tout aluminium, 4 cylindres arbre à cames en tête à course longue (83x88mm) le moteur de la BX Sport possède une culasse spécifique avec nouveau dessin des chapelles et des sièges de soupapes, des soupapes d'admission portées à 42 de diamètre pour favoriser le remplissage, et de nouveaux conduits d'échappement qui débouchent sur des tubulures "siamoises" et 3 pots. L'arbre à cames est plus "croisé", les pistons spéciaux, les bielles renforcées. Capot levé, on ne peut qu'admirer les collecteurs d'admission en aluminium coulé, les deux brides souples entre collecteurs et carburateurs, et noter la présence d'une plaque de rigidification destinée à obtenir un montage précis et rigide de l'ensemble des deux carburateurs et à garantir le maintien des réglages."

And also: electric front windows, central locking, power steering, radio "pre-equipment", rear window wiper etc.
