compression check on M%$ X% 3.0I

I had a post last night and thanks to the folks who helped. I went in to do a compression check just as a check to ensure that the motor / head gasket where still tight. I have a 2003 x5 with the M54 3.0I motor. I was performing a compression check (my first BMW) and took all 6 plugs out as thats easier on the starter. When I cranked the motor I go oil out of some of the open sprak plug holes and there seemed to allot of compression still with plugs removed.

Has anyone done a compression check and experienced the high compression with plugs out? Second is the oil coming out of the cyclinders reminscent of the oil seperator being bad?

Appreciate the help
