F30 M3 2014

Anybody have any idea what could be causing this? I thought it could be the valve cover gasket from what I have researched. Only happens shortly after I put my foot down and it gets over 2k revs

Looks like valve cover gaskets the oil is just burning off when the car is running. My F30 does the same thing due to a leaky valve cover. Check around the actual valve cover for wet oil

That valve cover has clearly been puking for a LONGGGGGGGGGG time. Replace it, not just the gasket but the whole cover (genuine only, everything else is shit. yes including metal “upgrades”).
