1978 BMW 728 auto (Reseda green) - in 1984.
Straight into this from the driving school Fiesta - quite a change.
Bought for £1800 from a friend with approx. 70k on the clock - including a private plate which I sold for £600!
Kept it for 5 years and roughly 60k miles - no major work needed - fantastic car.
Paved the way for a whole line of Beemers, the last of which, a lovely 1973 2002tii I only sold last year to buy the SRT6
