Get it inspected by a local bmw garage.
Coommon issues
valve cover gasket
ccv
intake elbows/bellows
boots
and so on are to be expected eventually.
And change the damn oil every 12000 or so NOT the bmw recommended service interval.

There's much in depth oil research saying that changing every 5k is a waste ... I think that's what he's referring to
I've heard numbers like 8k for Dino oil and 15 for synthetic being fine

BMW recommends something like once a year or 25K, when using the proper synthetic oils. I do mine 10-11K...
