Can really upper timing covers be removed without removing the valve covers?!!

A post in bimmerfest points out that the N62 engine upper timing covers can be removed without removing the valve covers. If the valve covers are not leaking, no point in removing them to fix leaking timing covers! I'm in this situation- valve covers are dry but driver side timing cover is leaking heavily. Has anyone done this? I really want to confirm from someone else if indeed what is said in bimmerfest is true and worth it. I'd hate to do that and find that the valve covers start leaking due to disturbance.
