I know - it sounds too good to be true - but All German Auto (Escondido,CA) claims they will soon have a tool kit available to the public (within a month or 2) that will allow you to replace your N62 valve stem seals without removing the cams/timing.

I saw his video (in amazing low-def 240p!) online. I had heard of using a leak down tester to hold the valves in place while you remove the valve springs, etc. as a quick way to change out valve springs from some racers. Never thought of it for this application but it makes sense. Very clever.
Still a whole lotta parts gotta come out to get access to the valves! For me, I'm likely to just drive down to Escondido, drop the X5 off and spend the day with friends! Better way to spend the day for me!
