I had the same problem. What helped with mine is I rechecked the torque on all the bolts/nuts and found that it needed a slight more snugging after some time and heat. The gasket will bed in sometimes not perfect notably on the exhaust manifold side which gets extra heat etc. My Dad who is a former race engine builder suggested I use a good quality rtv silicone and apply a thin bead to the inside of the gasket seat on the valve cover and then place gasket. I will try that on my wife's x3 I'm doing this week. Just a thought.
