Now when the car says it needs an Inspection must it be done by a BMW dealer? How does the car know its been done? I mean does the dealer update someting in the car to tell it or does the car automatically know that the required check/maintenance has been carried out? Is this designed so you have to take it to a BMW dealer? Thanks people I'm new to this game I'm sure you enlightened bunch will help!

this site (
http://www.carsoft.ru/avtorepair/serv/bmw_7_si.pdf) is a good starting point. I just bought my own 735i and like you am very, very happy.
There are some other good web sites ... one of which I have at home but can't seem to locate here. It's a mechanic's shop where he details nicely what needs to be done on a regular basis and what he charges to have it done. If you don't have tools ... you might want to get some, and try to get some of the stuff done yourself.
It's going to be expensive to enjoy that 7 series, but I think worth it.
