Thanks
I just recently purchased my M3 from its first owner just last December, but previous owner did have the blackstone analysis done at every oil change; results were always normal. But, sooner or later, it'd need to be done so my thinking: As rod bearings are wear items @ every 100K, for peace of mind, I just pressed the reset button a bit earlier. And since I don't plan to add 100K on the car (at least during my ownership), I won't have to worry about it in the future, and track days will be more worry-free.
Nice - and there's nothin wrong with that we can never be TOO sure so it doesn't hurt to do them anyway like you did.

I was just curious if the results had started to show more contamination right before doing the rb's in the oil but it sounds like the results were clean and consistent and you decided to do them anyway just for peace of mind.

Not a bad idea 👌🏽
