Hi folks, I recently bought a 2010 E92 and did the oil analysis and waited with all my fingers and toes crossed.
Good news is that it came back with low copper and lead readings.

Though iron levels came back quite high compared to what I'm seeing on everyone's reports here (43mg/kg - not quite the same as ppm, but close enough).

My local lab (New Zealand) didn't think it was a problem, but thought I'd post my report numbers up here to add to the group data and see if anyone had thoughts on the iron.
Car has done 63k Miles, not 100% sure on mileage since last oil change, but I think it was done in April this year, I tested on 19 Nov so I estimate about 3000 miles.
Oil was Eneos, unsure of the grade.

Report numbers in mg/kg:

Cu - 4
Fe - 43
Pb - 1
Cr - 1
Al - 1
Si - 2
Mo - 45
Ni - 1
K - 1

Additives:
Mg - 726
Zn - 1056
Ca - 1216
P - 847


Cheers guys.
