Yep... In fact I was so concerned that my mileage was so much more than 
what others had spoken about that I posted a  "how do you tell when 
your tires need replacing" type question over on the BMWMOA list.

The only thing I can figure out after reading their responses is that I 
must be a very slow rider on a light, low powered bike with a quite 
stiff throttle and short brake levers who only rides on very smooth 
roads after religiously checking his tire pressures daily. But, hey, 
somebody's got to be a below average rider so the rest of you can be 
above average, eh!  : >)

The Z4s were squared off (especially the rear) when I changed out them 
but still had legal tread left and the front showed some light cupping 
according to the guy at Daytona BMW.
