the valve may need replacing.... not really expensive but a bit labour intensive to do it, what is your oil consumption like????

i've got a 330i touring on a y plate with 143k as for oil fully synthetic 0/30 or 4/40 either ll01 or ll04 compatable the e46 zone has a load of info on there if you can get past the bufties..
