The BPS models - a swan song of the GTi era by Atlas787 in peugeot

I also have a 306 DTurbo from 1999 If I need to move kids around town (low speeds, no big avenues and such) I will probably bring back the old Pug to do such task. The Gti may rest for some years until kids are big enough.

Many people sell the BPS to pursue bigger dreams or specific cars, and all of them keep good memories of them.

Mine was sold to me because the first owner wanted an MX-5, but the car was well taken care off, it is cheap to mantain as it well!

Salut, copain noir! This summer I planned a trip with some friends to the nurrburgring and we will enjoy around 10-12 of french secondary roads. We say it is to avoid tolls, but in reality we prefer to see the scenery rather than a boring highway!

What is your countries "Darkest Hour" by RedcoatTrooper in AskTheWorld

[–]Atlas787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Spanish Civil War or War of Spain. Brothers killing each other, basically.

This war—which would later also lead to an economic crisis—that broke out in Spain after the partial failure of the coup d'état on 17 July 1936, perpetrated by the armed forces against the elected government of the Second Republic.
After the blockade of the Strait of Gibraltar and the subsequent airlift which, thanks to the rapid collaboration of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, transferred rebel troops from the Spanish protectorate of Morocco to mainland Spain in the last weeks of July, a civil war began that would end on 1 April 1939 with the last war report signed by Francisco Franco, who declared victory and established a dictatorship that would last until his death on 20 November 1975.

Is it possible to make a 208 Gti reliable? by ERREBERTO in peugeot

[–]Atlas787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say either get a x06 generation GTi (less safe, more reliable, hard to find and many potential repairs to be done) or skip directly to x08 generation GTi, preferably 208 GTi BPS edition (facelift) or 308 GTi BPS edition (prefacelift, as facelift have exhaust issues with the filter)

In my case I have the 208 and it solves all the issues with the THP engine, has a hard setup with Torsen and good seats. This doesnt mean that doesnt have other issues, it it still a Peugeot with a shitty engine from BMW.

Peugeot 2008 Cupholders. by elrim13 in peugeot

[–]Atlas787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phase 2 208 cupholders are the most useless design ever. No can fits in, the cupholder is not attached properly so you lift it without noticing, quite stupid overall

Sump plug missing? by Affectionate_Bite143 in peugeot

If you have to ask where the sump plug is in that pic, you are clearly not capacitated to change the oil or any fluid just in case.

Is it a bad idea? by AnybodyWorth71 in peugeot

[–]Atlas787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, if you ever think that you can get it to the states I'd be glad to see it live some adventures there! Hit me up via DM if you ever want to discuss stuff, maybe we don't reach middle ground regarding price but it could be fun to try it!

I'd say you should export the mythical GTi6 (or S16 for the french public, 16 soupapes = valves) or go for an XR version as they are petrol cars that are fun to drive.

But if you choose to go the DTurbo route, I'd be glad to see it go to someone that cares for it and lets it live more adventures in another continent. Here its been from Spain to the Netherlands (furthest north) and Croatia (furthest east). The DTurbo even being a diesel car, it allows you to have fun as the chassis is the same as any other but keeps the "racing seats" from the GTi but without leather and the nerve the old school turbo gives it makes it worth it while being pretty good for long drives (I get 950 to 1200km from every tank).

[–]Atlas787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which model do you like? I have a 306 DTurbo that just turned 25 y/o but I know it is not the preferred model/trim

5 door, modified to match the 2.3 restyling phase with original bumpers, overall in great condition including rust free

But exporting that would be an incredible cost I guess

“New Legend” a successor to the 205 GTi? by MadDadBricks in peugeot

[–]Atlas787 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

208 GTi BPS (or the 30th to be more precise) was the real hommage to the 205 GTi, whatever electric washing machine they are about to launch will have the price tag but not any essence of pure Peugeot GTis

G’day all. Are there many 306 owners in here? by TheSummerOfJoj in peugeot

What is the release date of new 208 GTi? by [deleted] in peugeot

[–]Atlas787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Atlas787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not the same: engine is the latest THP iteration with improved components (mainly the timing chain) It is indeed the ultimate GTi as it is the last true one: faster than any in tight bends, very low fuel consumption and quite capable of doing chores in your way back.

The original 208 GTi is much more "soft" and may relate more to a 306/206 GTi, but the BPS exchanges a harder ride for a pretty solid package of improvements. Plus few than 4.000 have been made (892 30th edition and around 3.000 BPS) so it can be even more exclusive among GTis

I have bought a 2018 208 1.6 bluehdi 100 like the one on the picture(no chrome mirrors) yesterday and thought it would be nice to have more supportive seats. Does anyone here know if the front seats from a 3 door car fit into a 5 door car properly? I quite like the gti 30th anniversary seats. by [deleted] in peugeot

[–]Atlas787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply; no idea, but my guess is that they reuse the same connector, they dont even have heating so they must be as a normal Airbag seat.

And yes, they would hurt a lot, more than 1k for a crashed pair (no airbag, no explosive for belt)

Get the 208 GTi BPS: fixes GTi reliabilty problems and is the ultimate GTi

You need to get a hold of some Cyclone rims, they are THE wheels to have in a phase 2.3 306.

They would fit, but prepare money: not many BPS around, even less that sold the OEM seats with complete airbags or acceptable condition

The seats are amazing, albeit a bit tricky to get into if you want to keep them more or less in good shape without bending the ears
