How much torque for valve cover nuts?

This is my first post here and I hope this works.

I have small amount of oil on some spark plugs and according to what I've read here it looks like it's either the valve cover gasket or the rubber o-ring for the nuts (22 total ?).

I'm going to try to do it myself (wish me luck) but wanted to know the right amount of torque to use before I even ordered the parts.

By the way, I have 95K miles on my 01 X5 4.4i.

Thanks!
Yoshi

H i- Did you find out the torque ? I might be doing this or getting my bmw tech friend to do it if too busy or too much hassle. Views/comments
