Not much ferrous, most of it was on the magnet in the first picture of my original post. Almost all the folds of my filter had some aluminum chips in them like in the other photo. No big chips and most very very small.
I took apart a filter from a Toyota Yaris at the same time (a little more difficult... I used a chisel to break off the end). It also had one or two of the thread like ferrous metal chips and some aluminum... but a lot less than on the Boxster filter.
The Boxster has 135,000KM and the Yaris 168,000 (84,000 and 104,000 miles).
Here is another photo of the Boxster filter.
