What is your question?
Its just covered 52000 miles and thought it was quite odd. Took it to a respected garage and they said it could be the head gasket. Is it common for head gaskets to leak after 52000 miles or could it just be the Valve Cover Gasket that it mentions in one of your Q&A boxes???

Can't see it from here; Has it been rebuilt and only 5,200 miles on the rebuild. Other wise you drove it 5,200 but how many miles are on the engine. Maybe the engine was washed before you bought it and the previous owner didn't want to deal with it, then sold it to you.
On this car, the most common oil leaks com from the Oil Filter stand gasket which create big oil leaks, the Valve covers(plastic) warp and leak, and lastly the oil separator and hoses leak. HAve a good BMW shop look at it. Also, the head gaskets typically go bad from excessive overheating. Regard Brad
