Please check out www.oembimmerparts.com to get your valve cover gasket.
Seems like BMW never manages to use a high enough quality rubber gasket that it won't leak before 100k miles. Oh well, this is just one of the common maintenance jobs that you need to do on any BMW. When the valve cover gasket leaks, the oil will get into the well in the middle that contains the spark plugs, coils, and fuel injectors. This can be bad because oil eats away at the rubber of the coil boots and deteriorate them.
I do want to mention that while you have the valve cover off, it is a good time to check your cam ledges to see if they are worn away yet. It is a very involved job and I definitely did it, of course, and I will be releasing a video on that next week so please stay tuned for that. Once that video is out, I will add a link to it here.
