First Analysis: High levels of lead
So just bought my 2009 e92 M3 in July 2014. It has a extended warranty until May 2015.
The report back was that had high levels of lead (18). This was off my first oil change, and prior changes I could only find a service by Mossy BMW in San Diego around 21,xxxmi. I use 91 Oct CA gas. I use 10W-60 Castrol TWS. What should I do now? Preventative maintenance? Indy shops? Will dealer cover this with the report provided? Change oil again after some time and re-evaluate?

Your car is still low mileage and 18ppm lead is certainly not the worst we have seen. Just keep monitoring it with each oil change. If you are inclined to move away from TWS, lower weight oils have shown propensity to lower bearing wear metals.

I'd give it two more analysis reports before making a decision.
