This latest sample from your Z4 looks similar to previous reports, so this is another good one to
add to the books. Copper is the only metal that's close to getting a mark, but it's remarkably steady, so it's
hard to fault it too much. We typically start marking wear metals when they're just over twice the universal
average value, so copper is worth watching, but we aren't convinced it shows trouble. Instead, it looks like
some extra copper is the norm for your Z4. The TBN was strong at 4.2 and the slightly low viscosity isn't a
problem. Up to 12K miles next is fine.
