My  2002 4.4 E53 with 95,500 was in for mot yesterday (Friday) sailed through with no advisories, only comment was '' very nice car''.
I find it as stressful as an expectant father, waiting for the results !!!

Well Done! 

My X6 did the same on Wednesday, and had a full oil & filter service done at the same time.  £90 labour, £300 in parts and VAT.  Filters in these beasts are pricey(and there are lots of them)!  Need to stick with OEM equivalent parts because of the warranty, but not paying £220/hr for labour.

Job done by local Indy in Bradwell, Milton Keynes - https://www.autowerxbmw.co.uk

Same here....X6 went straight through on Tuesday (1st mot in my ownership).....hope it beats my e53 record of 11yrs straight through with no ads

Mine failed on Wednesday passed yesterday after a new rear flexible brake pipe.(the steel bit burst on the ramp)
No other advisories 

That's the best place for it to burst Alan ,rather than out on the road  Once you have an older luxury car an Mot is a worrying experience as if anything fails its likely to be expensive !

I know what you mean about stressful. In Queensland we don't have any sort of inspection each year but New South Wales does have a Roadworthy inspection each year and once the hole inspecting picked on a small area on one door that was undercoated after a rust repair about 6 inches square (done properly) and would not pass it until it was painted the right colour. One other time the bugger used a stopwatch to time the indicator and one side winked two times more on one side than the other. Real petty stuff.
Some times I think they do special night classes just to learn how to be a p...k.
