Thanks in advance.

I think it is difficult to say for sure given the age of the SULEV cars now. Best bet is to go to a dealer with SULEV info and ask (including talking to a manager if necessary).
I recently purchased a 2009 128i w/145k+ miles on the clock to give to my high school kid. I was fixing all of the normal issues for this car (water pump, OFHG, etc.) and recently came across the SULEV info. The VCG was also leaking and I was able to get the dealer to replace the gaskets (the valve cover itself is not covered) and also the eccentric shaft sensor (due to oil in the plug) under the SULEV warranty. I am in MD (and the car is registered in WA) so I guess that helps - and the dealer in MD that did the work was very familiar with the SULEV warranty.
I actually bought all of the parts to do the VCG job myself (and an eccentric shaft sensor). I had them install the new valve cover since I knew the original one was on borrowed time (especially the integrated PCV system).
Good Luck!
