Is this normal BCG wear?
Only around 160 rounds through this, I lubed/cleaned it before and after shooting and it appears that these marks are cutting into the metal on the two straight lines you see. Is this normal? BCG from S&W M&P sport II.

That is the area that rides over and recocks the hammer.
What does the hammer look like?

To me it appears normal. It is simply two metal parts learning to play nice with one another. The wear should develop to a point then not progress any further assuming that you keep the rifle properly lubed. With some use, you can expect to see similar wear develop around the lugs of the bolt itself, as well as on the charging handle.

From your hammer photo, the two shiny areas at the top of the hammer face would seem to match the BCG, just wear-in marks to my eye. Keep her lubed well and get after it.

I'd keep a little oil on it.

it looks brand new to me, mine are very smooth and very shiny and are in perfect condition after a heck of a lot mil-surp ammo being put thru them---the wear on the contact areas is totally normal and will become more evident as you put a lot more ammo thru it, as said by others keep it lubed properly.

That looks about like the BCG in my rifle after several thousand rounds. 
Seeing those parts gradually wear off the finish is part of the fun of cleaning; a sign of the fun I'm having!
