Just keep an eye out on the lead. It looks ok, but not that great as it's above average and in double digits.

I stick the label right on the black bottle. I tell them that it's a non-hazardous liquid and it costs me $2.41 (1st class parcel).

Here is my latest one. It looks much better and I don't know why. I have been putting more miles, track, and canyon time on it than ever before. Even with more miles on the sample, the bearing metals are down by 1/3.

Yes, that lead is very high. About 5x the average. The copper is not bad. If you haven't been using leaded race gas, you need to be concerned.
I was in roughly the same boat as you. When I bought mine, the PO had done three 15K mile oil changes. When I changed it the next time, 7800 miles later, the lead and copper were high. I have continued that oil change schedule and they have been coming down (the record of my analyses is posted above). I'm not sure what this means relative to whether the bearings need to be replaced though. Is it a case of "the damage has been done"? Not sure.

I also just bought the same Red and Blue bearings with the WPC treatment from the group buy (M3Dragon) that was happening all of 10 minutes (Mods decided to take it down shortly after )
They will be going in next year, along with all the other stuff I bought (read sig).

2008 BMW M3: 53,XXX mi
Info
Vehicle: 2008 BMW M3, 6MT Production Date: 05/08 Oil Used: TWS Motorsport 10W-60, 7500mi intervals Mileage: 53,XXX mi Fuel: 91 Oct Driving Habits: Mostly highway/street driving, no track use Oil Analysis: None provided Notes: This particular M3 was fully serviced under scheduled maintenance and meticulously followed thereafter with oil changes every 7500mi. Here's a recent inspection on a 2008 M3 with ~53K that came in. When engine was warm, a "knock" was heard at 3500+ RPM. Upon inspection of #5 journal, the bearings were discovered to be in terrible condition: Crank also shows severe damage, engine will need to be pulled and crank/bearings replaced. With this much damage on the journal, there's really no need to inspect the others. Higher resolution photos can be found here on our Flickr page. Engine is relatively stock other than aftermarket exhaust, vehicle has never been tracked. An oil sample has been sent simply to see what numbers are present in this type of situation. We'll update the thread as soon as the results are received.

Blackstone report attached. Obvious high lead/copper readings:
Interesting that no contaminants were found since we were picking bearing fragments from the oil pan after removal.
