Bmw does not recommend the engine being warm when checking or topping up the oil. Both BMW Dubai and Gothenburg told me this. Also, is it possible that the engine had too much oil in it before it leaked?
As for the milky stuff in the oil, sure it could come from the ccv pipes/hoses but that's just an indicator to a faulty headgasket. I've had my fair share of overheating or milky bmw engines over the years and changing the ccv, rocker gaskets, hoses and even manifolds might make it a bit better but it will not last.
If you do decide to start the car eventually, check the exhaust for white or bluish smoke, uneven idle, engine temperature, coolant level and rough acceleration. These are the prime indicators for a blown head gasket.
