I have 04 545i and engine oil is reaching my spark plug. My question is there a solution to fix this? Someone told me if i change the valve gasket, the problem would stop. Can some give details on how to change this. Pics would be a great hell. Thank you

Engine valves do not have gaskets. You probably mean valve cover gasket. (I am limited to one piece of advice per post.)

Yep, you're thinking Head Gasket, not valve cover gasket. Much tougher, but still should be doable. Your best bet is to get the service manual to see what all it entails, I could explain it on a Jeep I-6 or a 390 FE long block, but there are a bit more wires on this one.
