I just bought my 135i and coming from the E46 world where the oil filter housing gasket was also an issue I found an issue to the solution.
The BavAuto gasket made from Viton rubber from ECS tuning is what I put on both of my E46s without any leaks with one after 80,000 miles since replacement. Its the same stuff they used for the upgraded Beisan Systems VANOS gaskets on the E46.
Seeing this post made me wonder if they made them for the N54 and N55 engines and they do. I cannot speak for this one, but I will definitely vouch for the BavAuto E46 OFHG if you never want to replace it again.
