N55 m2 - Very small metal flake in oil

Did oil change on my 2018 M2 with 20k miles on clock. oil that was drained was about 7/8k miles old

I use Fuchs titan pro race 5w-40, upon draining oil I saw a small number of very small flake left over in the container I drained oil into, there was also a small number of very small flake in oil filter.

Car is stage 2, well looked after, always warmed up.

After this I sent off an oil sample for testing and everything came back ok.

I have attached pics of metal and the analysis, I believe the boron level could be from coolant that I had drained into the pan previously

Any Advice? they suspected the material I had seen was ally as it was non magnetic. I want to enjoy the car but I keep seeing horror stories!
